An-Nahl 11: Allah brings forth with it grains, olives, dates, vineyards and all the other fruits. Verily, there is a great lesson in these for a nation that contemplates.

Verse 11 of Surah An-Nahl: By means of water Allah grows for you crops, olives, date palms, grapes and all kinds of other fruits. Surely in these there is a great lesson for a people who reflect. Yes, Allah Almighty, by showing us His creations as examples: these cannot come about by themselves. There is a being who created them. And that is Allah, the owner of these worlds. In this verse too, Allah Almighty wills that we use our intellect. He gives us examples. In the following verses too, continuing to give examples, in a way every mind can understand, He makes His essence known to people. What does He say in one verse?

We will never cease to give similes with the mosquito and (?). A town whose water is drawn away, or that is struck by drought — life in that town dies out. Migrations from that town begin. So if we stay where we are without migrating from our towns and benefit from Allah's blessings, this is Allah's mercy upon people. So, this mercy — by telling people of this mercy, He shows them the greatness of His essence. His saying, "By means of water Allah grows for you crops, olives, date palms, grapes and all kinds of other fruits", reminds people of His blessing upon them. Allah Almighty. All this, His blessing upon us people, that is, that there is none besides Allah who gives these provisions, He makes known to us.

These blessings He has listed do not end here. These blessings are not just this much anyway. In Surah Ar-Rahman, Which of the blessings Allah has given do you deny, it says. Indeed, even if you counted the blessings Allah has given, you could not (?) them. If we were to list here the blessings He has given, into the books written Allah's blessings would not fit. But with a few examples of these blessings He has given, He wants to warn us. Indeed, in these there is a great lesson for a people who reflect. Surely Allah is the guarantor of His creatures' sustenance. He also knows what His creatures need as sustenance.

Allah, who created them this way, creates each creature's sustenance separately. All created beings know their food and benefit from Allah's blessings. Accordingly, you cannot make a meat-eating animal eat grass, nor a grass-eating animal eat meat. In this respect Allah, who creates the various sustenance of various creatures, and who, creating eighteen thousand worlds, completed their (?), is free from all imperfect attributes. That there is no god besides Him He proves to every person of reason, and His existence (?), through knowledge, He makes known. Indeed, for peoples who contemplate these with reflection there is a great lesson.
