(An-Nahl) 16 : 8
وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً ۚ وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

And the horses, mules/hinnies, and donkeys for you to ride and as adornment; and He will create that which you don’t know.

A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. A hinny is the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey. But mule and hinny can’t reproduce. The Horses, donkeys, mules, and hinnies are used for carrying goods and as a vehicle. Horses are mainly kept as a farm animal and are used in sports events nowadays. In the olden days, horses are used in warfare. Pedigreed horses are made attractive for mankind as explained in verse 3: 14. Lord has prohibited through His Messenger to eat single hoofed animals like horses, mules, hinnies, and donkeys.

During the revelation of the Book, these animals were used as vehicles. Later, motor vehicles such as motorcycles, cars, buses, Lorries, trains, boats, and airplanes were invented. Shortly, soundless flying saucers may also be introduced which don’t require enough space for landing and takeoff. That is why it is told in this verse: “He will create that which you don’t know”.

Through verses 43: 13-14 it is commanded to pray after entering the vehicle as: “Glory is to the One Who has brought this vehicle under our control whereas we were unable to control it. Indeed, we all should have to return unto our Lord”. The believer who testifies Adhikr will only pray this prayer with his soul, whereas the aimless and heedless Fujjar will utter this prayer without the participation of soul which is against the command of verse 7: 205. The believer will only die by submitting whole to Lord and seeing Him pleasantly by his soul, whereas the true disbelievers will die by seeing Satan gloomy as told in verses 75: 22-24. There are two conditions for getting response to prayer and accepting deeds as explained in verse 2: 186. See explanation 3: 138; 15: 6-9 and 36: 36.
