Svenska · Bernström
DET ÄR er Herre som låter skeppen segla över havet i er tjänst, så att ni [med dem] kan söka det som Han i Sin godhet [beviljar er för er försörjning]. Han omsluter er med Sin barmhärtighet!
Recited by Mishary Alafasy. Plays on through the surah.
Ships are a Sign of the Mercy of Allah
Allah tells us of His kindness towards His servants by subjugating for them ships on the sea. He makes it easy for them to use ships to serve their interests, seeking His bounty through trade between one region and another. He says:
إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا
(Truly, He is ever Most Merciful towards you.) meaning, He does this for you out of His grace and mercy towards you.
