The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
71. Do they not see that among the things We have made with Our own hands, We created for them cattle [64], of which they are now the owners?
[64] For example, cows, oxen, sheep, goats, camels, horses, donkeys—these are all different species of animals. And all have been created by Allah for the benefit of mankind; their progeny also continues through a drop of fluid just as that of humans. And the drop of fluid is produced from lifeless substances. These things were not owned by humans. Allah gave humans intellect. Through intellect, man subdued the cattle. Then, seeing benefits for himself in them, he began to keep them in his homes and started buying and selling them among themselves and became their owners.
