The horses are seen from the perspective of their masters, and they are magnificent. They labor hard, and not for their own purposes. They run with all their might, simply because their master commands them to. They sacrifice themselves in the midst of battle, even though they don't know what the purpose of the fighting is for.
How do humans look from the Master's perspective? Ungrateful and selfish. It isn't that humans don't work-- they can accomplish some amazing deeds. But they don't work for their Master, but for themselves. They don't work for the needy, or for building up God's goals. Rather, they work for their own glory, their own influence.
The Sura ends with an important question-- What will happen when the Lord opens up the heart of each person to everyone? When we see the true motivation of all people, who can possibly stand?
