In the next verse the word is on some other bounties of Allah such as the shades and shadows, the clothings and the mails:ِ ``And Allah has made for you shades of the things that He has created to shelter you from the sunshine, and has made for you places of protection in the mountains. He has made for you shirts to protect you from heat and chain-mail covering to protect you in your war.

So does He complete His bounty on you, perhaps you may submit.'' The trees, roofs, walls, caves, and our houses, all act as shades and cast shadows along with sunshine, which is an important necessity of life. Our clothes protect us from the heat in its lower degree, or what is metaphorically called coldness, just as our chain mail may protect us in a battle field. God's bounties are infinite and we cannot even number them.

There is a physical or spiritual purpose, or both, behind each bounty, that we may easily recognize if we reflect, and for that we should give our sincere thanks. All of us can easily recognize the values of the bounties that we enjoy, but unfortunately most of us show gross ingratitudes.
