Surah Ghafir ayat 79 Tafsir Quran 40:79

﴿اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوا مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ﴾
[ غافر: 79]

40:79 It is Allah who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.

God it is Who made for you cattle — it is said that ‘camels’ are specifically meant here even though it seems to signify cows and sheep also — that you may ride some of them and eat of some.

Allah is He Who domesticated for you cattle to hold as property and rear them to ride on some and some would serve as food

The Cattle are also a Blessing from Allah and a Sign from Him Allah reminds His servants of His blessing in that He created the cattle Al-An`am for them, which refers to camels, cows and sheep; some of them they ride and some of them they eat.
Camels may be ridden or eaten; their milk is drunk and they are used for carrying heavy burdens on journeys to distant lands.
Cattle are eaten and their milk is drunk; they are also used for plowing the earth.
Sheep are eaten and their milk is also drunk.
The hair and wool of all of these animals is used to make tents, clothing and furnishings, as we have already discussed in Surat Al-An`am and Surat An-Nahl, etc.
Allah says here: اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الاٌّنْعَـمَ لِتَرْكَـبُواْ مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ - وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـفِعُ وَلِتَـبْلُغُواْ عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِى صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ ( Allah, it is He Who has made cattle for you, that you may ride on some of them, and of some you eat.
And you have (many other ) benefits from them, and that you may reach by their means a desire that is in your breasts, and on them and on ships you are carried.) وَيُرِيكُمْ آيَـتِهِ ( And He shows you His Ayat. ) means, `His proof and evidence, on the horizons and in yourselves.' فَأَىَّ ءَايَـتِ اللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَ ( Which, then of the Ayat of Allah do you deny ) means, you cannot deny any of His signs and proofs, unless you are stubborn and arrogant. أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُواْ أَكْـثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَءَاثَاراً فِى الاٌّرْضِ فَمَآ أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ - فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ فَرِحُواْ بِمَا عِندَهُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ - فَلَمَّا رَأَوْاْ بَأْسَنَا قَالُواْ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ وَكَـفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِ مُشْرِكِينَ
