وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ
16:8-9; 36:42-43; 43:13.
Commentary:
The cattle are very useful animals. We eat their flesh, drink their milk and use them also as mounts and as beasts of burden, etc. Similarly, ships are extremely useful things. Reference has been made in this and the preceding few verses to several of the things which are highly beneficial to man for his material needs and upon which to a very large extent his very existence depends. It is quite obvious that God Who has made such vast provision for the physical needs of man could not have failed to make similar provision for his moral and spiritual needs. This is the meaning and purport of this verse.
16:8, 9; 36:42, 43; 43:13.
