He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"
Allah doth enlarge, or grant by (strict) measure, the sustenance (which He giveth) to whomso He pleaseth. (The wordly) rejoice in the life of this world: But the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter.
真主使你们在陆上和海上旅行。当你们坐在船中,乘顺风而航行,并因风而欣喜的时候,暴风向船袭来,波涛从各处滚来,船里的人猜想自己已被包围,他们虔诚地祈祷真主,”如果你使我们脱离这次灾难,我们必定感谢你。”
真主使他所意欲者享受宽裕的给养或窘迫的给养。他们因今世的生活而欢喜,然而今世的生活比起后世的生活来,只是一种(暂时)的享受。
