The Holy Quran 6:38 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَـٰٓئِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّآ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ

Translation

Every creature on the earth and every bird flying with its two wings are nations (communities) like yourselves (because Allaah has also predestined their sustenance and their experiences). We have not omitted (to record) anything in the Book (the Lowhul Mahfoodh). Then (after passing their lives in this world) they (all creatures, birds, etc) shall be gathered to their Rabb (on the Day of Qiyaamah when even oppressive animals will be made to compensate for their oppression).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
