For you to sit on their backs and remember provisions of livelihood provided by your Rabb as you sit on them, and say, “Praise to Him Who subjugated this for us; we were not associates. (Note: We are not an equal match in power to riding animals, but Allah gave us control over animals that are more powerful than us. One human resource is ~ 75 watts, One horsepower = 746 watts, Typical Car hp= 200 - 500 hp, One airplane with four jet engines - 4 x (15-to 20) Megawatt ~ 100,000 hp, ~ 1000,000 human resources, etc., so Allah gave us control over the horse, car, planes, etc., for our travel and benefits. Hence, we must thank Allah for giving us control over powerful animals and machines).
