Translation
And among people and moving creatures and grazing livestock are various colors similarly. Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
And amongst men, animals and cattle (camels, cows and sheep) are different colours like that which was mentioned. Only those who exalt Allah and have true fear of Him, are the knowledgable ones, because they recognise His attributes, His sacred law and the proof of His power. Allah is Mighty, no one can overpower Him. He forgives of the sins of His servants who repent.
