English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
It is Allah Who has made cattle for you, that you may ride on some of them, and eat of some of them —
English - Five Volume Translation
[b]It is Allah Who has made cattle for you, that you may ride on some of them, and eat of the flesh of some of them—[3550]
6:143; 16:6; 23:22; 36:72-74.
Commentary:
This and the next two verses contain a great moral lesson for man in relation to cattle and other animals which God has created for his use. The lesson is that man is not the creator of these animals and yet he exercises control over them, whereas God has created man but he refuses to acknowledge God’s control over him or the authority of His Messenger. The verse further seems to imply that when God has taken so much care to provide for the physical needs of man, He could not have ignored to make similar provision for the needs of his soul which are much more important than those of the body.
