Allah it is Who has made cattle for you so that you ridesome of them.

Indeed, We honoured the progeny of Adam, and

rovided them with rides on land and sea.

-}7{Indeed, We honoured the progeny of Adam, and provided them with

rides on land and sea and provided them with good things for their

sustenance, and exalted them above many of Our creatures.

7}{ Allah it is Who has made cattle for you so that you ride some of

them and from some of them you derive food. In them there arealso other benefits for you, and through them you fulfil your

heartfelt need (to reach places), and you are borne along upon them

as upon the ships. Allah shows His Signs to you; then which ofAllah's Signs will you deny?

}}01

And of the cattle (He has reared) some for burden, and some

whose flesh you eat and whose skins and hair you use to spread

the ground.

And indeed there is also a lesson for you in cattle. We provide you

with drink out of what they have in their bellies; and you have many

other benefits in them: you eat of them, and are carried on themand also on ships.

}{Do they not observe the camels: how they were created?

}{-6

He created the cattle. They are a source of clothing and food and

also a variety of other benefits for you. And you find beauty in

them as you drive them to pasture in the morning and as you

drive them back home in the evening;and they carry your loadsto many a place which you would be unable to reach without

much hardship. Surely your Lord is Intensely Loving, Most

Merciful. 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.

None holds them (from falling) except Allah.

Do they not see that We have subjected the cattle to them?}-6}6

Do they not see Our handiwork: We created for them cattlewhich they own?We have subjected the cattle to them so thatsome of them they ride and eat the flesh of others. They derive avariety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not

give thanks? They set up deities apart from Allah, hoping that

they will receive help from them.Those deities can render themno help. Yet these devotees act as though they were an army in

waiting for them. Let not their words grieve you. Surely Weknow all things about them, what they conceal and what they

reveal.

6}{Have they never noticed the birds how they are held under

control in the middle of the sky, where none holds them (from

falling) except Allah? Surely there are signs in this for those who

believe.

Allah subjected for you the ships that they may sail

in the sea b His command.

And He it is Who has subjected the sea for you.

6}0{

And He it is Who has subjected the sea that you may eat fresh fish from

it and bring forth ornaments from it that you can wear. And you see

ships ploughing their course through it so that you may go forth seeking

His Bounty and be grateful to Him.5}12{

Allah it is Who has subjected the sea to you so that ships may sail upon it

by His command and you may seek of His Bounty and give thanks to Him.

He has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and the earth, all being

from Him. Verily there are Signs in this for those who reflect.

0}10{

It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth, Who sent down water

from the heaven and thereby brought forth a variety of fruits as your

sustenance, Who subjected for you the ships that they may sail in the

sea by His command, Who subjected for you the rivers,Who subjectedfor you the sun and the moon and both of them are constant on their

courses, Who subjected for you the night and the day,and Who gave youall that you asked Him for. Were you to count the favours of Allah you

shall never be able to encompass them. Verily man is highly unjust,

exceedingly ungrateful.

7}6{ And of His Signs is that He sends winds to herald good tidings and

that He may give you a taste of His Mercy, and that ships may sail at

His command, and you may seek His Bounty and give thanks to Him.5}1{

The two masses of water are not alike. The one is sweet, sates thirst,

and is pleasant to drink from, while the other is salt, bitter on the

tongue. Yet from both you eat fresh meat, and extract from it

ornaments that you wear; and you see ships cruising through it that

you may seek of His Bounty and be thankful to Him. 1}5{

Another Sign for them is that

Surely there are signs in the ships that sail the ocean

laden with cargoes beneficial to mankind.

Have you not seen how Allah has subjected to you all that is in the

earth, and the vessels that sail in the sea by His command, and it is

He Who holds back the sky that it may not fall on earth except by His

permission? Surely Allah is Most Gentle, Ever Compassionate to people.

}}60

Surely there are countless signs for those who use their common

sense; they can see in the creation of the heavens and the

earth, in the alternation of the night and day, in the ships thatsail the ocean laden with cargoes beneficial to mankind, and in

the rain-water which Allah sends down from the sky and thereby

gives life to the earth after its death and spreads over it all kinds

of animate creatures, in the blowing of the winds and in the clouds

which obediently wait for orders between the sky and the earth.

And of His Signs are the ships that sail in the sea like

mountains.

Another Sign for them is that We carried all their offspring in the

laden vessel and then created for them other vessels like those

on which they ride. Should We so wish, We can drown them, andthere will be none to heed their cries of distress, nor will they be

rescued. It is only Our Mercy (that rescues them) and enables

enjoyment of life for a while.

5}05{His are the ships, towering on the sea like mountains. Which of thefavours of your Lord will you twain you men and jinn then deny?

}1}15 And of His Signs are the ships that sail in the sea like mountains.If He so wills, He can cause the winds to become still so that they

will remain motionless on its surface. Surely there are many

Signs in this for those who are steadfast and give thanks. Hemay, while forgiving much of the sins of those that ride these

ships, drown them on account of some of their misdeeds.Thenthose who wrangle about Our Signs will come to know that there

is no escape for them.

Voyages in the sea and lessons of Monotheism

}}1

Do you not see that ships sail in the sea by Allah's Grace that He may

show you some of His Signs? Surely there are Signs in this for everyone

who is steadfast, thankful. When waves engulf them (in the sea) likecanopies, they call upon Allah, consecrating their faith solely to Him. But

when He brings them safely to the land, some of them become

lukewarm. None denies Our Signs except the perfidious, the ungrateful.

}7}12 He it is Who enables you to journey through the land and the sea.And so it happens that when you have boarded the ships and they

set sail with a favourable wind, and the passengers rejoice at the

pleasant voyage, then suddenly a fierce gale appears, and wave

upon wave surges upon them from every side, and people believe

that they are surrounded from all directions, and all of them cry out

to Allah in full sincerity of faith: 'If You save us from this we will

surely be thankful.But no sooner than He rescues them than they go

about committing excesses on the earth, acting unjustly. Men ! The

excesses you commit will be of harm only to yourselves, (Enjoy, if

you will) the fleeting pleasure of this world; in the end you shall all

return to Us, and then We shall tell you what you did.

-}67{ Your Lord is He Who steers your vessels across the seas that youmay seek of His Bounty. He is ever Merciful towards you. When acalamity befalls you on the sea, all those whom you invoke forsake

you except Him. But when He brings you safely to the shore you turn

away from Him, for man is indeed most thankless.Do you, then, feelsecure against His causing you to be swallowed up by a tract of the

earth, or letting loose a deadly whirlwind charged with stones

towards you, and there you will find none to protect you?Or do youfeel secure that He will not cause you to revert to the sea, and let atempest loose upon you and then drown you for your ingratitude

whereupon you will find none even to inquire of Us what happened

to you? Indeed, We honoured the progeny of Adam, and providedthem with rides on land and sea and provided them with good

things for their sustenance, and exalted them above many of Our

creatures.

}2}10 He Who created these pairs, all of them, and provided you ships and

cattle on which you ride,so that when you are mounted upon themyou may remember the bounty of your Lord, and say: Glory be to

Him Who has subjected this to us whereas we did not have thestrength to subdue it.It is to our Lord that we will eventually return."
