Tafsir
Allah (swt) has created human beings as equal creatures. Humans have not only benefited from Allah's creation, but they have also used their intellect to invent land, sea and air vehicles to use in their service, with as much knowledge as Allah (swt) permits. With these vehicles, people both catch up with the time and transport themselves and their goods with them. What is meant by catching up with time is that a man is at one end of the world and another man is at the other end. This man will take years to bring his goods back and forth with horses and camels. His lifetime will only allow him to travel back and forth a few times. However, with a good mind that Allah has given him and with as much knowledge as Allah has allowed him to have, he now trades with the other end of the world every day from where he sits, with imports and exports. People are making airplanes, sea vessels, trains, all of which are blessings that Allah has put at our service with the wisdom He has given us. In times to come, people will go further in knowledge and will find other means of transportation.
He has also given these animals to human beings as an adornment, that is, as wealth. They are also used as ornaments in the service of people. Even today, there are those who keep horses, ride them with pleasure, and have fun riding them around on farms.
What is said in the video
You understood. If you didn't, ask about the part you didn't understand.
In His verse, Allah Almighty created horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and as an adornment for the eyes. Allah has created many more means of transport that you cannot know now, He says. That is, which one could not know at that time. He created many means of transport. He created the ships that sail on the sea. He created airplanes. He created cars, trucks, semi-trucks. Perhaps after us still other things we cannot know will be created. Yes.
Allah Almighty created man as the noblest of creatures. Just as people benefit from what Allah Almighty created, by using their minds and with knowledge as far as Allah Almighty permits, they have invented, for their own service, land vehicles, sea and air vehicles. To use in their own service, they have invented land vehicles, sea and air vehicles. With these vehicles they made, people both gain time and carry themselves and their goods with them. By gaining time it is meant: one person is at one end of the world, the other person at the other end. For this man to bring and take his goods with horses, camels, would take years. His lifetime would allow only a few round trips.
But with the fine mind Allah gave, with knowledge as far as He permits, in the present day, through imports and exports, from where he sits, every day with the other end of the world he does business and trades. Today you put fresh fruit on a plane, 3 hours, 5 hours later, 10 hours later, at most 18 hours later it's on the other side of the world. At the other end. How lovely.
People making planes, sea vessels, trains, with the mind Allah gave us — these are the blessings He offers to our service. In times to come, people will go further in knowledge and will also find other means of transport. He also gave these animals to people as an adornment, that is, as wealth. They are also used in people's service as ornament. Even today, those who keep horses ride them with pleasure. There are those who enjoy themselves riding around on these animals on farms. Yes.
