The Holy Quran 16:72 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ ۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ

Translation

Allaah has made spouses for you from yourselves (from the human race for humans and from the Jinn for the Jinn) and, from these spouses, (Allaah has) created sons and grandsons. And (in addition to these favours) He has provided for you pure foods (of various types and flavours) to eat. Will they (the Kuffaar) believe in falsehood (idols and other gods) and (by doing this) show ingratitude to Allaah's favour? (Although they ought to worship Allaah to thank Him for everything He has given them, they foolishly worship other gods that do not give them anything.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

والله سبحانه جعل مِن جنسكم أزواجا; لتستريح نفوسكم معهن، وجعل لكم منهن الأبناء ومِن نسلهنَّ الأحفاد، ورزقكم من الأطعمة الطيبة من الثمار والحبوب واللحوم وغير ذلك. أفبالباطل من ألوهية شركائهم يؤمنون، وبنعم الله التي لا تحصى يجحدون، ولا يشكرون له بإفراده جل وعلا بالعبادة؟
