  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Except by way of Mercy from Us and by way of (worldly) convenience (to serve them) for a time. 3991
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xvi. 80. Allah has given man all these wonderful things in nature and utilities produced by the skill and intelligence which Allah has given to man. Had it not been for these gifts, man's life would have been precarious on sea or land or in the air. It is only Allah's Mercy that saves man from destruction for man's own follies, and that saving or the enjoyment of these utilities and conveniences he should not consider as eternal: they are only given for a time, in this life of probation.
