17. 1. Camels were common in Arabia and were the predominant means of transport for those Arabs, so Allah mentioned it, meaning: reflect on the creation of the camel, how Allah has granted it such a large form and how much strength and power He has placed within it. Despite this, it is gentle and submissive for you; you can load it with as much burden as you wish, it will not refuse and will remain under your control. In addition, its meat is for you to eat, its milk for you to drink, and its wool is used to obtain warmth.
