Verses 10-16 of Chapter 16:
It is He, Who sends down for you water from the sky, which
provides drinking water for you and brings forth fodder for your cattle. And
thereby He grows for you crops and olives and date-palms and vines and
different kinds of many other fruits. Surely there is a great Sign in this for
those people who ponder. He has subjected to your service the day and the night
and the sun and the moon: likewise all the stars are subjected by His Command.
In this there are many Signs for those who make use of their common sense. And
in the things of different colors He has created for you in the Earth, there is
indeed a Sign for those who learn lessons from them. It is He Who has subjected
the sea to your service so that you may get fresh flesh from it to eat and
bring out of it articles of ornament, which you wear, and you see that the ship
sails her course through it. He has done all this so that you may seek of His
bounty and show gratitude to Him. He has driven mountains firmly into the earth
lest it should turn away from its usual course along with you: He has caused
rivers to flow and made natural ways so that you may be directed aright. He has
placed landmarks to direct people, and by stars, too, they are directed aright.
