Tafsir
Allah (swt) states that human bodies, by their very creation, will get tired when they work, and that they will find rest and tranquility in their homes. Since the first creation of our father Adam, human beings have built shelters and houses for themselves. In these houses, they not only ensure their safety, but also rest and relax and relieve their tiredness. This situation will continue until the Day of Judgment. Allah, who has taught you about these environments and created these substances and put them at the service of human beings, shows people the greatness and omnipotence of Himself every moment with His verses.
Of these, animals such as cattle, cattle and sheep, goats, camels, cows, sheep, goats, goats, camels, etc. were created by Allah and these animals are utilized. Their wool and skins are used to make clothing, as well as a source of trade and livelihood. Apart from this, people who live nomadically in times of war or in the mountains and slopes, people who migrate from one place to another, build houses made of leather for shelter and protection, and these houses made of leather are also beneficial for human health because they are windproof. They also make trade goods from their wool and hair to meet their livelihood and needs. Allah (swt) shows His blessings to mankind by informing them of the services of the animals He has created. May they realize and become wise. They will praise and thank Allah with gratitude. Or on the Day of Judgment, they will not be able to say to Allah (swt), 'You did not give us the revelations to realize the existence of Your Essence.
What is said in the video
Surah An-Nahl, verse 80. Allah has made your houses a place of peace and rest for you. And for you, from the hides of livestock, both on your day of migration and on your day of camping, houses you carry easily, and from their wool and fleece for a time household goods to benefit from, and goods of trade He has brought forth, it says. When Allah Almighty placed people on the earth, to meet all their needs — whatever mankind needs anywhere in the world, He placed it on the earth, and the ease man needs He has provided. To take a person somewhere and leave him there naked and abandoned, or that (?) would be an injustice. Allah Almighty does not will injustice for people.
So before people even came into the world, all the materials needed for what people eat and drink He placed in the world. So, mankind's needed shelters, and their certain creatures, from whose meat and milk they will eat, creating them beforehand to be given to mankind's service — from Allah Almighty's mercy; even back in the time of our father Adam, even in the time of the first, Abel and Cain, even before our father Adam came into the world, Allah Almighty sheep, flocks of sheep, large and small livestock brought into the world and placed there — how do we understand that? From Abel and Cain asking Allah Almighty for a sheep, and the sheep — Cain putting Abel's sheep, like, on top of a big mountain, and with its acceptance, Abel killing his brother. So in this case it means that beforehand, before Allah Almighty put man on the earth, many materials man would need He placed on the earth.
This too is a grace of Allah to people. And the things that will meet all their needs, for man, so that he would not be alone in the world and suffer hardship, opening their way, and with His needed grace, the creatures He has created, placing them at people's command, and so indeed mankind He declared and named the vicegerent of the earth. Yes. So, because man needs shelters on the earth, so that mankind can build shelters, they make them from animal hides, and with them together building houses and shelters is a grace of Allah upon people. That human bodies, by their creation, will tire from working, and that in their houses they will rest and find calm, Allah Almighty expresses.
Since our father Adam, the first created, people have taken shelters for themselves and built houses for themselves. In these houses they both secure their safety and rest and repose. They relieve their tiredness. And this will go on like this until the Day of Judgement. Allah, who teaches you these settings and, creating these materials, places them at people's service, about the greatness of His Being and His power over everything, at every moment through verses offers lessons to people. As was said a moment ago, even before mankind came into the world, Allah Almighty placing all of mankind's needs in the world — this is of course a great grace of our Lord to mankind.
Of these, livestock — that is, large and small animals like cow, sheep, goat, camel — He created. They benefit from these animals Allah created. People. So these animals on their own can support a household; for example, a cow (?) on a highland pasture or in a village like this, a cow (?), that cow looks after a household. From its milk, cream, butter, again from milk, yogurt, (?) from its milk, cheeses, all kinds of dairy products, by producing them, it is possible for just one of them to easily look after a household, I mean. So Allah Almighty
