إِنَّ عِبادي لَيسَ لَكَ عَلَيهِم سُلطانٌ ۚ وَكَفىٰ بِرَبِّكَ وَكيلًا
“As for My devotees, you have no power over them. Your Lord is sufficient as a Protector.”
رَبُّكُمُ الَّذي يُزجي لَكُمُ الفُلكَ فِي البَحرِ لِتَبتَغوا مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ بِكُم رَحيمًا
It is your Lord who causes the ship to move for you through the sea, so you may seek His bounty. Indeed, He is Most Merciful to you.
وَإِذا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِي البَحرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدعونَ إِلّا إِيّاهُ ۖ فَلَمّا نَجّاكُم إِلَى البَرِّ أَعرَضتُم ۚ وَكانَ الإِنسانُ كَفورًا
When danger befalls you at sea, all those you call upon vanish, except for Him. Yet, when He brings you safely to land, you turn away. Man is ever ungrateful.
أَفَأَمِنتُم أَن يَخسِفَ بِكُم جانِبَ البَرِّ أَو يُرسِلَ عَلَيكُم حاصِبًا ثُمَّ لا تَجِدوا لَكُم وَكيلًا
Are you confident that He won’t collapse a tract of land beneath you, or unleash a hailstorm upon you? Then, you would find no protector.
أَم أَمِنتُم أَن يُعيدَكُم فيهِ تارَةً أُخرىٰ فَيُرسِلَ عَلَيكُم قاصِفًا مِنَ الرّيحِ فَيُغرِقَكُم بِما كَفَرتُم ۙ ثُمَّ لا تَجِدوا لَكُم عَلَينا بِهِ تَبيعًا
Or are you confident that He won’t return you to it again, unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you due to your ingratitude? Then, you would find no avenger against Us.
وَلَقَد كَرَّمنا بَني آدَمَ وَحَمَلناهُم فِي البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ وَرَزَقناهُم مِنَ الطَّيِّباتِ وَفَضَّلناهُم عَلىٰ كَثيرٍ مِمَّن خَلَقنا تَفضيلًا
We honored the Children of Adam, transported them on land and sea, provided them with good things, and gave them preference over many of those We created.
يَومَ نَدعو كُلَّ أُناسٍ بِإِمامِهِم ۖ فَمَن أوتِيَ كِتابَهُ بِيَمينِهِ فَأُولـٰئِكَ يَقرَءونَ كِتابَهُم وَلا يُظلَمونَ فَتيلًا
On the Day when We summon every people with their leader, whoever is given his record in his right hand will read his record, and not a thread will be wronged.
وَمَن كانَ في هـٰذِهِ أَعمىٰ فَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ أَعمىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبيلًا
But whoever is blind in this life, will be blind in the Hereafter, and further astray from the path.
وَإِن كادوا لَيَفتِنونَكَ عَنِ الَّذي أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ لِتَفتَرِيَ عَلَينا غَيرَهُ ۖ وَإِذًا لَاتَّخَذوكَ خَليلًا
They were about to entice you away from what We have revealed to you, in the hope that you would invent something else about Us; and then they would’ve taken you as a friend.
وَلَولا أَن ثَبَّتناكَ لَقَد كِدتَ تَركَنُ إِلَيهِم شَيئًا قَليلًا
Had We not fortified you, you might have leaned towards them a little.
إِذًا لَأَذَقناكَ ضِعفَ الحَياةِ وَضِعفَ المَماتِ ثُمَّ لا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَينا نَصيرًا
In that case, We would’ve made you taste double in life, and double at death, and then you would’ve found no helper with respect to Us.
