Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and caused water to come down from the clouds, and brought forth therewith fruits for your suste- nance; and He has subjected to you the ships that they may sail through the sea by His command, and the rivers too has He subjected to you. And He has pressed into your service the sun and the moon moving constantly. Also He has subjected the night and the day to serve you. And He gave you all that you wanted of Him; and if you try to count the favours of Allah, you will not be able to number them ( S u rah Ibr a h i m, 14:33–35). [Publisher] 2. And the cattle too He has created; you find in them warmth and many other benefits; and some of them you eat ( S u rah an-Na h l, 16:6). [Publisher] 3. And He it is Who has subjected to you the sea that you may eat therefrom fresh flesh ( S u rah an-Na h l, 16:15). [Publisher] 4. And Allah has sent down water from the sky, and has quickened therewith the earth after its death ( S u rah an-Na h l, 16:66). [Publisher]
