And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon
vanish from you except Him (Allâh Alone). But when He brings you safe to land,
you turn away (from Him). And man is ever ungrateful[]. (67) Do you then feel
secure that He will not cause a side of the land to swallow you up, or that He
will not send against you a violent sand-storm? Then, you shall find no Wakîl
(guardian— one to guard you from the torment). (68) Or do you feel secure
that He will not send you back a second time to sea and send against you a
hurricane of wind and drown you because of your disbelief? Then you will not
find any avenger therein against Us. (69) And indeed We have honoured the
Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided
them with At-Taiyyibât (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many
of those whom We have created with a marked preferment. (70) (And remember) the
Day when We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imâm
[their Prophets, or their records of good and bad deeds, or their Holy Books
like the Qur'ân, the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel the readers whom the
people followed in this woried)]. So whosoever is given his record in his right
hand, such will read their records, and they will not be dealt with unjustly in
the least. (71) And whoever is blind in this world (i.e., does not see Allâh's
Signs and believes not in Him), will be blind in the Hereafter, and more astray
from the Path. (72) Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We
have revealed (the Qur'ân) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), to fabricate something
other than it against Us, and then they would certainly have taken you a Khalil
(an intimate friend)! (73) And had We not made you stand firm, you would nearly have
inclined to them a little. (74) In that case, We would have made you taste a
double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of
punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against
Us. (75)
