And the cattle, camels, cows and sheep (al-an`ma, `cattle', is in the accusative because of the implied verb [governing it], as explained by [the following words, khalaqah lakum]), He created them for you, [you being] included among the number of mankind. In them there is warmth, that by which you keep warm in the way of clothes and garments, [taken] from their hairs and wools, as well as [other] uses, such as [their] offspring, milk and for you to ride, and of them you eat (the adverbial clause [wa-minh, `of them'] precedes [the verb] for the purpose of [establishing harmony with] the end-rhyme [of the Qur'nic verse]);

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Cattle are part of the Creation of Allah and a Blessing from Him

Allah says;

وَالَانْعَامَ خَلَقَهَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَافِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ



And the cattle, He has created them for you; in them there is warmth (warm clothing), and numerous benefits, and you eat from them.

Allah reminds His servants of the blessing in His creation of An`am, this term includes camels, cows and sheep, as was explained in detail in Surah Al-An`am where the "eight pairs" are mentioned.

The blessings include the benefits derived from their wool and hair, from which clothes and furnishings are made, from their milk which is drunk, and their young which are eaten.

Their beauty is a kind of adornment, thus Allah says
