The Spoils of War - 8:26 Remember when you were few in number, oppressed and despised in the earth, and you feared that people would snatch you away. He provided you with a home and supported you with His help and gave you sustenance from good things so that you might give thanks.
Examples of the sustenance Allah gives us:
The Cow/2:61 "But you said, "Moses! We will no longer be able to endure a single kind of food. Call your Lord for us and let Him grow for us beans, squash, garlic, lentils, onions, and whatever the earth produces,"and He said, "Do you want to exchange what is good for what is inferior? Go back to Egypt, and there you will find what you seek."So they were condemned to lowliness and poverty and incurred the wrath of Allah. Because they were always ungrateful to the signs of Allah and killed the prophets unjustly. Because they were disobedient and transgressors."
The Cow/2:168 People! Eat of the lawful and pure produce of the earth, and do not follow the steps of Satan; he is an open enemy to you.
The Table Spread/5:88 Eat what Allah has given you as sustenance, lawful and pure. Listen to Allah in whom you believe.
The Table Spread/5:96 It is lawful for you to hunt the animals of the sea and to eat them. As sustenance for you and for travelers. Land hunting is forbidden to you while you are in ihram. Listen to Allah, before Whom you will be gathered.
The Cattle/6:99 It is He Who sends down water from the sky. With it We brought forth all kinds of plants, and with the green matter We produced from that plant We brought forth grains innumerable, and We brought forth crops like and unlike each other, such as date palms with clusters hanging from their buds, and vineyards, and olives and pomegranates. Look at the fruit and the ripeness of each of them at the time of its fruiting. In this are proofs and signs for a people who believe.
The Cattle/6:118 Eat of that on which Allah´s Name is mentioned, if you believe in His Verses.
The Cattle/6:119 What is the matter with you that you do not eat of that on which Allah´s Name is mentioned, whereas He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you except in cases of necessity. Many mislead the people with their personal opinions which are not based on knowledge. Your Lord knows best those who transgress.
The Cattle/6:141 It is He Who created the gardens with and without bowers, and the dates, the crops, the olives and the pomegranates, similar or different. When each of them bears fruit, eat of its fruit and give its due on the day of harvest. Do not be extravagant; He does not love the extravagant.
The Thunder/13:3 He built the earth and placed on it firm mountains and rivers and every kind of fruit He created, male and female. He covers the night with the day. Surely in this are signs and lessons for a thinking people.
The Thunder/13:4 On the earth are neighboring pieces of land, vineyards, crops, and date palms with forks and without forks. We have made them different in flavor from one another, though they are all watered with the same water. Surely in this are signs and lessons for a people who use their reason.
The Rocky Tract/15:19 We enlarged the earth and placed firm mountains in it and We created therein everything according to a perfect measure.
The Rocky Tract/15:20 We have created therein a habitat for you and for the creatures you do not feed.
The Bee/16:5 And He has created for you the livestock, and in them is heating and other benefits, and from them you eat.
The Bee/16:66 There are also lessons for you in livestock. We offer you a substance that comes out of their bellies, that is, between the digested food and the blood, for you to drink: Pure milk, delicious to drink.
The Bee/16:68 "And your Lord revealed to the bee: "Make houses from the mountains and trees and from what you build (hives)."
The Bee/16:69 "Then eat of every kind of fruit and follow the plan of your Lord."Out of their bellies comes forth a drink of various colors containing healing for mankind. In this is a sign for people who think."
Originator/35:12 The two seas are not equal to each other. This one is fresh and sweet and soft to drink, and that one is salty and bitter. From each of them you eat fresh meat and extract jewels to wear. You will see ships splitting it, seeking His favor. Perhaps now you will give thanks.
