﴿وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ﴾
[ النحل: 72]
16:72 And Allah has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve?
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishAllah has made for you - O people - spouses from your species whose company you can enjoy.
He has made for you from your spouses children and grandchildren; and has provided you with wholesome foods such as meat, grains and fruit.
Will they then believe in false idols and statues, and reject Allah's innumerable favours and not thank Him by having faith in Him alone?!
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And Allah has made for you wives of your own kind, and has made for you, from your wives, sons and grandsons, and has bestowed on you good provision. Do they then believe in false deities and deny the Favour of Allah (by not worshipping Allah Alone).

16:72 And Allah has made for you from yourselves mates and has made translate in arabic
والله جعل لكم من أنفسكم أزواجا وجعل لكم من أزواجكم بنين وحفدة ورزقكم من الطيبات أفبالباطل يؤمنون وبنعمة الله هم يكفرون
سورة: النحل - آية: ( 72 ) - جزء: ( 14 ) - صفحة: ( 274 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And it is Allah Who provided you with wives and mated you to your kind and from them did He bless you with sons and grandsons, and provisioned you with the wholesome sustenance of victuals, eatables and drinkables. Is it then that they -the infidels- assert or vindicate falsehood and will not esteem Allahs efficacious grace abounding in them
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(16:72) It is Allah alone, Who has made wives for you from your own species and He alone bestowed upon you sons and grandsons from those wives, and provided you with good things to eat. What, do they then (even after seeing and knowing all this,) believe in falsehood, *63 and deny Allah's favours *64
And Allah has made for you from yourselves mates and has made meaning
*63) " .... they believe in falsehood ......": they have this false and baseless belief that there are certain gods and goddesses, jinns and saints, dead and alive, who possess the power to make or mar their fates, fulfil their desires and answer their prayers, give them children, cure their diseases and help them win law suits.
*64) " .... they deny Allah's favours" by associating others with Allah in offering gratitude to Him for His favours, though they did not have any proof or authority that their false gods had played any part in regard to those favours. The Qur'an considers such an association to be the denial of Allah's favours. It puts forward the fundamental principle: It is the denial of the favour of the real benefactor to offer gratitude for his favour to anyone who has not done that favour, or to presume without any proof or reason that the real benefactor has nor granted that favour of his own accord but because of the mediation or regard or recommendation or intercession of this or that person.
Even a little thinking will show that both of the above-mentioned fundamental things are absolutely just and rational. Let us suppose, for the sake of illustration, that A, out of sympathy, helps B, a needy person, but at that very moment B stands up in A's presence, and offers gratitude for that kind act to another person who -had no share at aII in it. A being a generous person may not take any notice of B's absurd response, and may even continue to help him as before, but he cannot help having a very low opinion of B character and considering him to be an ungrateful wretch. Then on inquiry Breveals that he was grateful to the other person for A had done that kindness to B because of him. Naturally A will take it ill, for he knows that B's assumption is absolutely wrong: nay, he will take this as an insult to himself because it meant that B has a very low opinion of him that he is not a generous and kind-hearted man but merely does such deeds to please his friends. It means that A helps a needy person only if he brings recommendation of his friends; otherwise none can expect any goodness from him.

اور وہ اللہ ہی ہے جس نے تمہارے لیے تمہاری ہم جنس بیویاں بنائیں اور اسی نے ان بیویوں سے تمہیں بیٹے پوتے عطا کیے اور اچھی اچھی چیزیں تمہیں کھانے کو دیں پھر کیا یہ لوگ (یہ سب کچھ دیکھتے اور جانتے ہوئے بھی) باطل کو مانتے ہیں اور اللہ کے احسان کا انکار کرتے ہیں
