Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

All Bounties in the Heavens and Earth are for the Benefit of MankindAllah reminds of His favor on His servants in that He made the earth a fixed place for dwelling, placed firm mountains and rivers on it and made homes and allowed them to utilize its benefits. Allah made the clouds work for them (bringing rain) so that they may produce their sustenance from them. He also created the ways and means of earnings, commercial activities and other professions.
