Quran 40:81 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
And He shows you His signs. So which of God’s signs that is the signs that prove His Oneness do you reject? the interrogative here is meant as a rebuke; ayya ‘which of’ is more commonly made masculine than feminine.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And other signs, revelations and marvels does He exhibit to you displaying His Omnipotence and Authority; so which of His signs will you deny
Quran 40:81 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
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
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(40:81) Allah shows His Signs to you; then which of Allah's Signs will you deny? *110
And He shows you His signs. So meaning
*110) It means this: " If you are not demanding a miracle only for the sake of fun and amusement but want to have the satisfaction whether that to which Muhammad ( upon whom be Allah's peace ) is inviting you( i.e.
Tauhid and the Hereafter ) is true or not,then God's those Signs which you are observing and experiencing at alI times, are quite enough.For there remains no need for other signs when there are these Signs to help you understand the Truth. " This is the third answer to their demand of the miracles.
This answer also has been given at several places in the Qur'an and we have given detailed commentary on it.
( Please see ,AI-An'am: 37-39; Yunus: 101; Ar-R'ad: 7-13;.Ash-Shua'ra': 4-9 and the E.N.'s thereof ).
The animals which serve tnan on the earth, especially the cow, ox, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel and horse, have been created with such nature by the Creator that they easily become man's domestic pet servants and he uses them to fulfil countless of his needs.
He rides on them, employs them for carrying loads and in agriculture, get: milk from them, which he drinks and also uses it for making curd, butter; ghee, condensed milk, cheese and different sorts of confectionaries; eats their flesh, uses their fat, and puts to good uses their wool and hair and skin and intestines and bones, even their blood and dung.
Is it not a manifest proof that the Creator of man had created these animals even before creating him in view of his countless needs, on a special pattern so that he may use them to advantage?
The three-fourths of the earth's surface is under water and only one-fourth is dry land.
In the dry parts also there are small and wide tracts of land which are separated by water.
The spreading of human populations on the dry lands and the establishment of commercial and other relations between them could not be possible unless water and oceans and winds were made subject to such laws as would make navigation possible, and such materials were made available on the earth, which man could employ for building ships.
Is it not an express sign that there is One God and only One All-Powerful, All-Mercieful and All-Wise Lord, Who has trade man and earth and water and oceans and winds .and everything on the earth according to His own special scheme? Rather, if man only considers from the viewpoint of navigation how the positions of the stars and regular movements of the planets are helpful in it, he will have the testimony that not only of the earth but of the heavens too the Creator is the same One Bountiful Lord.
Then, consider also this: Can you in your right senses imagine that the all-Wise God, Who has given His countless things in the control of man and has granted him all these provisions for his well-being, will be, God forbid, so blind of the eye and so thoughtless as would never call man to account after giving him all this?

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
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( And He showeth you ) O people of Mecca ( His tokens ) His marvels: the sun, the moon, the stars, the day, the night, the mountains, the clouds, the seas, etc., all these are signs of Allah. ( Which, then, of the tokens ) of the signs ( of Allah do ye deny ) and claim is not from Allah?
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And He shows you His Signs and Proofs (of His Oneness in all the above mentioned things). Which, then of the Signs and Proofs of Allah do you deny?
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
