7 Preface وَتَحمِلُ أَثقالَكُم إِلىٰ بَلَدٍ لَم تَكونوا بالِغيهِ إِلّا بِشِقِّ الأَنفُسِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُم لَرَءوفٌ رَحيمٌYusuf AliAnd they carry your heavy loads to lands that ye could not (otherwise) reach except with1 souls distressed: for your Lord is indeed Most Kind, Most Merciful,The cattle and animals also carry loads, and thus make intercommunication between different lands easy. But for them there would have been many difficulties, not only physical, but psychological. Weary men carrying loads are in no mood for social and spiritual intercourse. This intercourse is made possible by the kindness and mercy of God.
