٢٤. وَلَهُ ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْمُنشَـَٔاتُ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ كَٱلْأَعْلَـٰمِ
٢٥. فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
[24-25] And His are the ships23 raised up high like mountains in the sea. So, O jinn and men, which of your Lord's bounties will you deny?24
23"His are the ships...": Ships became possible only by His power. It is He Who blessed man with the capability and skill that he may build ships for crossing the oceans; it is He Who created on the earth the material from which ships could be built; and it is He Who subjected water to the laws by which it became possible for the mountain-like ships to sail on the surface of the surging oceans.
24Here, the aspect of the blessing; and bounty is conspicuous in alaa', but the explanation given above shows that the aspect of power and good qualities also is present in it.
