And Allah has provided you shade out of what He created, and has given you shelter in the mountains. He has also provided you with clothes protecting you from the heat ˹and cold˺, and armour shielding you in battle. This is how He perfects His favour upon you, so perhaps you will ˹fully˺ submit ˹to Him˺. But if they turn away, then your duty ˹O Prophet˺ is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly. They are aware of Allah’s favours, but still deny them. And most of them are ˹truly˺ ungrateful. Quran: 16:81~83 [ an-Nahl (The Bee) ]
The surah takes its name from Ayat no. 68,
“And your Lord inspired to the bee,
“Take for yourself among the mountains, houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.”
It is also referred to as the surah of blessings as it contains many of the blessings of Allah upon mankind.
There are 128 Ayat in this Surah.

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَـٰلࣰا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ أَكۡنَـٰنࣰا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ سَرَ ٰبِیلَ تَقِیكُمُ ٱلۡحَرَّ وَسَرَ ٰبِیلَ تَقِیكُم بَأۡسَكُمۡۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ یُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَیۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡلِمُونَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَیۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَـٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِینُ یَعۡرِفُونَ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ یُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ
The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power. Everything in the universe points to Allah. There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
اور خدا ہی نے تمہارے (آرام کے) لیے اپنی پیدا کی ہوئی چیزوں کے سائے بنائے اور پہاڑوں میں غاریں بنائیں اور کُرتے بنائے جو تم کو گرمی سے بچائیں۔ اور (ایسے) کُرتے (بھی) جو تم کو اسلحہ جنگ (کے ضرر) سے محفوظ رکھیں۔ اسی طرح خدا اپنا احسان تم پر پورا کرتا ہے تاکہ تم فرمانبردار بنو اور اگر یہ لوگ اعتراض کریں تو (اے پیغمبر) تمہارا کام فقط کھول کر سنا دینا ہے یہ خدا کی نعمتوں سے واقف ہیں۔ مگر (واقف ہو کر) اُن سے انکار کرتے ہیں اور یہ اکثر ناشکرے ہیں
