In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


16 : 66

And for you there is a lesson to learn from the cattle as well; We give you to drink of that which comes from inside their bellies, passing through their bowels and through their blood, - a beverage of pure milk immensely relishing to those who drink it!

(Revealed at a time when veterinary science was not even on the cards, the verse draws our attention to a day to day miracle which we witness without observing, how a drink as pure in quality as it is in colour comes from the belly of the cow, travelling through her blood and her bowels without picking up any of the impurities contained in either, so incredibly wholesome, refreshing and invigorating! Is not a Lord who has created so many marvels and made the earth a cradle of his miracles for man's comfort, capable of raising man out of the mangled remains of his flesh and bones, hale and healthy as he once was in the prime of his life, without picking up the impurities of his fossils? Is not the milk we drink and burp away with relish something for us to reflect upon and glean from in our assessment of our Lord's Omnipotence?)
