<h2>Lessons and Blessings in Cattle and the Fruit of the Date-palm and Grapevine</h2><div class="arabic uthmani">وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ</div><p>(there is for you) - O mankind - </p><div class="arabic uthmani">فِى الاٌّنْعَـمِ</div><p>(in the cattle) - meaning camels, cows and sheep, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">لَعِبْرَةً</div><p>(a lesson) meaning a sign and an evidence of the wisdom, power, mercy and kindness of the Creator. </p><div class="arabic uthmani">نُّسْقِيكُمْ مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهِ</div><p>(We have made a drink for you out of what is in its belly) meaning its singular forms refers to one cattle, or it could refer to the whole species. For cattle are the creatures which provide a drink from what is in their bellies and in another Ayah it is `in their bellies.' Either way is plausible. He said, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">مِن بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَدَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا</div><p>(from between excretions and blood, pure milk;) meaning it is free of blood, and is pure in its whiteness, taste and sweetness. It is between excrement and blood in the belly of the animal, but each of them goes its own way after the food has been fully digested in its stomach. The blood goes to the veins, the milk goes to the udder, the urine goes to the bladder and the feces …

And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers.

And verily in cattle (too) will ye find an instructive sign. From what is within their bodies between excretions and blood, We produce, for your drink, milk, pure and agreeable to those who drink it.

And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.

And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers.
