Do they not see the cattle among things We have fashioned by Our power, which they own,
Did they not see that We have created animals for them from Our handiwork, so they are their owners?
Have they not seen how that We have created for them of that Our hands wrought cattle that they own?
Are they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought, the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? –
Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners.
Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners.
Have they not seen that We created for them, of Our Handiwork, livestock that they own?
Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattle which they own?
Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have fashioned, the cattle, so that they are their owners.
Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners,
Have they not seen that We have created for them—of what Our hands have worked—cattle, so they have become their masters?
Have they not seen how We have created for them the cattle they master with Our Hands?
Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and [then] they are their owners?
Have they not seen what We have created from the labor of Our own hands? We have given them cattle.
Do they not see that We have created cattle for them, out of what Our hands have wrought, so they are their masters?

Do they not see that, among the things which Our hands have fashioned, We have created for them cattle of which they are the masters,
See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?-
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعَٰمًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَٰلِكُونَ
Have they not seen that I have created livestock for them, and they control the affairs of that livestock by doing with it whatever they require?
Have they not seen that I have created livestock for them, and they control the affairs of that livestock by doing with it whatever they require?
<p>In verse 71, it was said: أَوَلَمْ يَرَ‌وْا أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَا أَنْعَامًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَالِكُونَ (Did they not see that We have created for them cattle, among things made (directly) by Our hands, then they are their owners?). Along with the mention of the Divine novelty and beneficence in the creation of the cattle in this verse, yet another great favor of Allah Ta’ ala has been identified. It has been said that man has played no role in the creation of these cattle. Allah Ta’ ala made them, exclusively, by His own hands, so to say. Then, He not only let human beings benefit from these cattle with His permission, but also made them their owners, so that they could dispose them off in any manner they chose - use them to their advantage or sell them off and use the money thus acquired.</p><p>Gift of God - not capital or labor - is the real wisdom behind the ownership of things</p><p>In our day, debate is still going on between various economic theories as to the basis of production of things and their ownership. Is it wealth, or is it labor? The votaries of the capitalist economic system declare capital and wealth as its basis. The protagonists of the socialist and communist system support labor as the real reason or justification behind production of things and their ownership. This decree of the Qur'an tells us that none of these two has any role to play in the creation of things and their ownership. The creation of anything does not rest in the possession or control of human beings. That is an act of Allah Ta’ ala, directly. Then, reason demands that the one who creates something should also be its owner. Therefore, when it comes to things of this world, the essential and real ownership is that of Allah Ta’ ala. The ownership of human beings in anything whatsoever can take effect only when Allah Ta’ ala passes it on to them in His mercy. Allah Ta’ ala has already revealed the law of the proof and transfer of ownership through his prophets. Counter to this law, no one can become the owner of anything.</p>
