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.

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.

وَإِن كادوا لَيَستَفِزّونَكَ مِنَ الأَرضِ لِيُخرِجوكَ مِنها ۖ وَإِذًا لا يَلبَثونَ خِلافَكَ إِلّا قَليلًا

They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. But then they wouldn’t have remained after you, except for a short while.

سُنَّةَ مَن قَد أَرسَلنا قَبلَكَ مِن رُسُلِنا ۖ وَلا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنا تَحويلًا

That is the established way with the messengers We sent before you, and you won’t find any change in Our ways.
