[17:67]
And when harm toucheth you upon the sea, all
unto whom ye cry (for succour) fail save Him (alone), but when He bringeth you
safe to land, ye turn away, for man was ever thankless.
[17:68]
Feel ye then secure that He will not cause a
slope of the land to engulf you, or send a sand-storm upon you, and then ye
will find that ye have no protector ?
[17:69]
Or feel ye secure that He will not return you to
that (plight) a second time, and send against you a hurricane of wind and drown
you for your thanklessness, and then ye will not find therein that ye have any
avenger against Us ?
[17:70]

them, and have preferred them above many of those whom We
created with a marked preferment.
[17:71]
On the day when We shall summon all men with
their record, whoso is given his book in his right hand - such will read their
book and they will not be wronged a shred.
[17:72]
Whoso is blind here will be blind in the Hereafter,
and yet further from the road.

(Muhammad) away from that wherewith We have inspired
thee, that thou shouldst invent other than it against Us; and then would they

[17:74]
And if We had not made
thee wholly firm thou mightest almost have inclined unto them a little.
[17:75]
Then had we made thee taste a double
(punishment) of living and a double (punishment) of dying, then hadst thou
found no helper against Us.
