Translation

Also there is beauty for you in, bringing them in the evening and letting them go in the morning.

Tafsir

With the livestock that Allah (swt) has blessed mankind with, sending them to pasture in the morning and returning them to their owners' homes in the evening, people wait for them and rejoice when they return to their homes in full, because they benefit from them.

And when they multiply them and trade in them, they add to their wealth with their abundance. In this respect, they enjoy and delight in the presence of these animals.

What is said in the video

For you, there is also in them, when you bring them home in the evening and when you let them out in the morning, a beauty, a pleasure, it says. For example, the animals, sheep and goats, cattle, come in a herd, they are milked, from them people take pleasure. In the morning they let them out to pasture, or for those who keep horses, those horses are put to use; they ride them. Their coming or going, having fun with them, gives people pleasure. With these domestic animals Allah Almighty has granted people, sending them in the mornings to pasture, and in the evenings, to the homes of their owners, as they return — since people benefit from them, they wait for them and rejoice when they return home complete.

Also, when they breed them and trade, with their abundance they add wealth to their wealth. In this respect they take delight in having these animals and (?). But people are like a nail. A nail. (?) says, why are you hitting my head? The adze says, hey, why are you telling me? Look at the one who makes me strike, it says. We don't look at what Allah gave. We don't look at Allah. We boast of the animals Allah created, we take pride in them. We list to people the blessings Allah gave. But to draw near to Allah, we don't give thanks even once. How beautifully Allah Almighty says it. Would We ever diminish the wealth of one who gives thanks, He says.

That is, He says, O man. Remember your Lord at every moment. And give thanks for the blessings your Lord gives. So that — give thanks so that I too (?) My blessing to you. Know Me, He says. Why did I create you? Why did I create? To know My Being, He says. The Prophet also says, do not wish for death. Rather than lying a thousand years (?), staying one moment in the world is enough, he says. The reason: Allah Almighty created us so that His Being would be known. Saying Allah once in the world is better than lying a thousand years under the earth. There, (?) Allah Almighty's purpose of creation.
