Surah Nahl ayat 11 Tafsir Quran 16:11

﴿يُنبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالْأَعْنَابَ وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ﴾
[ النحل: 11]

16:11 He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and from all the fruits. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

With it He makes the crops grow for you and olives and date-palms and vines and all kinds of fruit. Surely in that which is mentioned there is a sign indicating His Oneness exalted He be for people who reflect upon His handiwork and therefore believe.

And therewith He causes vegetal growth of corn, olives, palm-trees and grapes and of all kinds of fruits. Indeed, all this is emblematic of Almightiness; food for thought taken by those who are disposed to think

He it is Who sends water down from the sky; from it you drink and from it ( grows ) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture ( 10 )With it He causes crops to grow for you, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit.
Verily, in this there is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought ( 11 ) The Blessings of Rain, and explaining how it is one of the Signs When Allah mentions the blessings of cattle and other animals that He has granted mankind, He then mentions how He has blessed them by sending rain down from the sky above, which has been fulfilling the needs and bringing joy to people and their cattle.
Allah says: لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ ( from it you drink ) meaning, He made it fresh and pure so that they can drink it, not salty and undrinkable. وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ( and from it (grows ) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture.) meaning, from it He raised plants on which your cattle graze.
Ibn 'Abbas, 'Ikrimah, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah and Ibn Zayd, all said that this refers to grazing animals including camels. يُنبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالْأَعْنَابَ وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ( With it He causes crops to grow for you, olives, date palms, grapes, and every kind of fruit. ) meaning, with this one kind of water, He makes the earth sprout plants with different tastes, colors, scents and shapes.
For this reason He says, إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ( Verily, in this there is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought. ) meaning, this is a sign and a proof that there is no god besides Allah, as He says: أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ حَدَائِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنبِتُوا شَجَرَهَا ۗ أَإِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ ( Is not He (better than your gods ) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends water down for you from the sky, from which We cause wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight to grow? You are not able to cause the growth of their trees.
Is there any ilah ( god ) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who make equals ( to Him )!)( 27:60 ).

He it is Who sends water down from the sky; from it you drink and from it ( grows ) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture ( 10 )With it He causes crops to grow for you, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit.

You are not able to cause the growth of their trees.
Is there any ilah ( god ) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who make equals ( to Him )!)( 27:60 ).

( Therewith ) by means of water ( He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! Herein ) in all the different kinds of fruit and of their tastes ( is indeed a portent ) a sign and a lesson ( for people who reflect ) upon that which Allah has created for them.

With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought.
