Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Explanation of the Different Religious PathsWhen Allah mentioned the animals which may be used for the purpose of physical journeys, He also referred to the moral, religious routes that people may follow. Often in the Qur'an there is a shift from physical or tangible things to beneficial spiritual and religious matters, as when Allah says, وَتَزَوَّدُواْ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَى(And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is Taqwa (piety, righteousness).
