A reference to future transportation carriers in Qur’an

And He created horses and mules and asses for you to ride, and also for your adornment. And He creates many things (for you) that you do not even know about. Al-Qur’an (16:8)
In this verse Allah (ST) mentions the animals used as means of transportation at the time of revelation. There is an indication about other means of transportation in the second part of this verse, which the earlier addressees of Qur’an were not aware of. If they were told that in future there will be cars, trains, airplanes as means of transportation, they would not have comprehended it. So Allah (ST) left it as an indication for future time that there will be more innovations in means of transportation which you know not yet. This will encompass all innovations in means of transportation until the last day. All other technologies are also included in this verse, because they are directly or indirectly applied in the advancement of transportation modes.
