Allah, The Creator Subjected the Universe to Human Control

• And the cattle He has created for you. Fromthem you have warm clothing and uses, and whereof you eat.
  
• And wherein is beauty for you, when youbring them home, and when you take them out to pasture.
  
• And they carry your loads unto a land youcould not reach except with souls distressed. Behold! Your Lord is indeed MostKind, Most Merciful.
  
• And (He has created) horses and mules anddonkeys that you may ride them, and for ornament. And He creates that which youknow not.
  
• And depend on Allah for direction to theStraight Path, but some (paths) go not straight: And had He willed He would haveled you all aright (by His Guidance).
  
• Allah is He Who sends down water from thesky, from it you have drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation with which youfeed your cattle.
  
• Therewith He causes crops to grow for you,and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and fruits of all kinds. Behold!Herein is indeed a sign for people who reflect.
  
• And He has constrained the night and theday and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, and the stars are madesubservient by His command. Behold! Herein indeed are signs for people who havesense.
  
• And whatsoever He has created for you inthe earth of diverse hues, Behold! Therein is indeed a sign for people who takeheed.
  
• And Allah is He Who has constrained thesea to be of service that you eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, andbring forth from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships plowing therein,that you (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that you may be grateful.
  
• And He has cast into the earth firm hillsthat it quakes not with you, and streams and roads that you may find your way.
  
• And landmarks (too), and by the stars theyfind their ways.
  
• Is He then Who creates like one who doesnot create? Will you not then remember?
  
• And if you try to count the favors ofAllah you cannot number them. Behold! Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving, MostMerciful.
  (16:5-18)
  
• Allah has given you in your houses andabode, and has given you (also), of the hides of cattle, houses which you findlight (to carry) on the day of migration and on the day of pitching camp; and oftheir wool and their fur and their hair, caparison and comfort (to serve you)for a time.
  
• And Allah has given you, of that which Hehas created, shelter from the sun; and has given you places of refuge in themountains, and has given you coats with which to ward off the heat, and coats(of armor) to save you from your own foolhardiness. Thus He perfects His favorunto you, in order that you may surrender (unto Him).
  
• But if they turn away, your duty is onlyto preach the Clear Message.
  
• They (the unbelievers) know the favor ofAllah but then deny it. Most of them are ingrates.
  
  
• Allah is He Who appointed the sun asplendor and the moon a light, and measured for it stages, that you might knowthe number of the years, and the count (of time). Allah did not create (all)that but in Truth. He details the revelations for people who have knowledge.
  
• Behold! In the difference of day and nightand all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth are portents, forthose who fear Him.
  
• Will they not look at the camels, how theyare created?
  
• And the heavens, how it is raised?
  
• And the hills, how they are fixed firms?
  
• And the earth, how it is spread out?
  
• Remind them, for you are not but a reminder.
