Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Blessings of Rain, and explaining how it is one of the SignsWhen Allah mentions the blessings of cattle and other animals that He has granted mankind, He then mentions how He has blessed them by sending rain down from the sky above, which has been fulfilling the needs and bringing joy to people and their cattle. Allah says: لَّكُم مَّنْهُ شَرَابٌ(from it you drink) meaning, He made it fresh and pure so that they can drink it, not salty and undrinkable.
