And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men's) habitations;
16:69
Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within
their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.
16:70
It is Allah who creates you and takes your souls at death; and of you there are some who are sent back to a feeble
age, so that they know nothing after having known (much): for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.
16:71
Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favoured are not
going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then
deny the favours of Allah.
16:72
And Allah has made for you mates (and companions) of your own nature, and made for you, out of them, sons and
daughters and grandchildren, and provided for you sustenance of the best: will they then believe in vain things, and be
ungrateful for Allah's favours.-
16:73
And worship others than Allah,- such as have no power of providing them, for sustenance, with anything in heavens or
earth, and cannot possibly have such power.
16:74
Invent not similitudes for Allah: for Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
16:75
Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and
(the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely),
privately and publicly: are the two equal. (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not.
