Ships

We have honoured the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, provided them with good things, and favoured them above many of Our creations.

17:70Verily we have honoured the Children of Adam. We carry them on the land and the sea, and have made provision of good things for them, and have preferred them above many of those whom We created with a marked preferment.

He made ships sail the seas by His command and rivers flow for your benefit.

14:32Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and causeth water to descend from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you, and maketh the ships to be of service unto you, that they may run upon the sea at His command, and hath made of service unto you the rivers;

22:65Hast thou not seen how Allah hath made all that is in the earth subservient unto you? And the ship runneth upon the sea by His command, and He holdeth back the heaven from falling on the earth unless by His leave. Lo! Allah is, for mankind, Full of Pity, Merciful.

35:12And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks.

You see ships ploughing through it as you seek His bounty, so that you may be grateful.

16:14And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty and that haply ye may give thanks.

17:66(O mankind), your Lord is He Who driveth for you the ship upon the sea that ye may seek of His bounty. Lo! He was ever Merciful toward you.

And among His signs is that He sends the winds as good news, so He may grant you His mercy, and so ships may sail by His command, and so you may seek His bounty, and so you may be grateful.

30:46And of His signs is this: He sendeth herald winds to make you taste His mercy, and that the ships may sail at His command, and that ye may seek his favour, and that haply ye may be thankful.

He who created all pairs, and provided you with ships to ride.

43:12He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride.

And on ships, you are carried.

23:22And on them and on the ship ye are carried.

Among His signs are the ships sailing like mountains upon the sea.

42:32And of His portents are the ships, like banners on the sea;

55:24His are the ships displayed upon the sea, like banners.

All upon it will perish

55:26Everyone that is thereon will pass away;

But the Face of your Lord will remain Majestic.

55:27There remaineth but the Countenance of thy Lord of Might and Glory.

When hardship strikes at sea, those you invoke vanish, except Him. But when He brings you safely to shore, you turn away. Man is ever ungrateful.

17:67And when harm toucheth you upon the sea, all unto whom ye cry (for succour) fail save Him (alone), but when He bringeth you safe to land, ye turn away, for man was ever thankless.

Do you feel secure that He will not cause the land to swallow you or send a storm upon you?

17:68Feel ye then secure that He will not cause a slope of the land to engulf you, or send a sand-storm upon you, and then ye will find that ye have no protector?

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back to sea, unleash a violent storm upon you, and drown you for your ingratitude?

17:69Or feel ye secure that He will not return you to that (plight) a second time, and send against you a hurricane of wind and drown you for your thanklessness, and then ye will not find therein that ye have any avenger against Us?

If He wills, He can still the wind, leaving them motionless upon its surface.

42:33If He will He calmeth the wind so that they keep still upon its surface - Lo! herein verily are signs for every steadfast grateful (heart). -

Indeed, the ships that sail the seas for the benefit of humanity.

2:164Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense.
