79. And it is He who gives me food [55] and drink.

[55] That is, even before creating living beings, Allah Almighty arranged matters in such a way that every living being could have access to sustenance and nourishment. He created abundant water, endowed the earth with the power of growth, set the winds in motion, established the system of rain, and attached all the needs of every living being to this earth. This act of Allah Almighty is also such that no other being can be a partner in it, so how can anyone else be a partner in worship?
