We sent down water from the sky in right measure, and
caused it to stay in the earth.
And He it is Who has subjected the sea for you.
2}{We sent down water from the sky in right measure, and caused it to stay
in the earth, and We have the power to cause it to vanish (in the manner
We please).
}2}8 He Who sent down water from the sky in a determined measure, and
thereby revived a dead land: likewise will you be raised up (from the earth).
1}{ 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. }3{

He unleashed the two seas so that they merge together,and yet
there is a barrier between them which they may not overstep.
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 subjected
for 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 you
all 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.
}32{ 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.

He unleashed the two seas so that they merge together,and yet there is
a barrier between them which they may not overstep. Which of the
wonders of your Lord will you both you men and jinn then deny?
From these seas come forth pearls and coral.Which of the wonders of
your Lord's power will you twain you men and jinn then deny?His

deep dark ocean darkness upon darkness
are the ships, towering on the sea like mountains.Which of the favours
of your Lord will you twain you men and jinn then deny?
}}2 And it is He, Who has let loose the two seas, one palatable and
sweet, the other bitter and saltish, and there is a partition between
them, which is an insurmountable barrier.
}3{ 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 itornaments that you wear; and you see ships cruising through it that
you may seek of His Bounty and be thankful to Him.

Who is it Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea?
The deeds of those who disbelieved, maybe likened to a mirage in a
waterless desert, which the thirsty one took for water; but when he
reached there he found nothing to drink; nay, he found there Allah
Who settled his full account, and Allah is very swift at reckoning.Or
(their efforts may be likened to those of a man trying to swim in) a
deep dark ocean, covered with billows, one over the other, and
above it a cloud: darkness upon darkness: so much so that if he
stretches out his hand, he cannot see it. There is no light for the one
whom Allah does not give light.
}2{ Who is it Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea?And Who sends winds as heralds of good tidings ahead of His
Mercy? Is there any god associated with Allah (in this task)?
Exalted be Allah above whatever they associate with Him in His
Divinity!
}{It is He Who has made for you the stars that you may follow
the right direction in the darkness of the land and the sea.
We have indeed spelled out signs for the people who have
knowledge.

Voyages in the sea and lessons of Monotheism
Ask them: 'Who is it that saves you from dangers in the deep
darknesses of the land and the sea?
}2{ Ask them: 'Who is it that saves you from dangers in the deep
darknesses of the land and the sea, and to whom do you call in
humility and in the secrecy of your hearts? To whom do you pray: "If
He will but save us from this distress, we shall most certainly be
among the thankful? "Say: "It is Allah alone Who saves you from this
and from every distress, and yet you associate others with Allah in
His divinity."Say: "It is He Who has the power to send forthchastisement upon you from above you, or from beneath your feet,
or split you into hostile groups and make some of you taste each
others' violence. Behold, how We set forth Our signs in diverse
forms, so that maybe they will understand the Truth."

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) like canopies, 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.
}4}32
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.

Your Lord is He Who steers your vessels across the seas that you
may seek of His Bounty. He is ever Merciful towards you.When a
calamity 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 you
feel secure that He will not cause you to revert to the sea, and let a
tempest 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.
