Verses 70-72Verses 66-69

      Here the immediate reference is to the gains that Man may earn through sailing a ship on the sea. In such voyages, Man earns material gain by commerce; social, cultural, and scientific gain, by contact and communications with other nation; but in spite of all the gifts and graces of God that he enjoys, he is not a thankful creature!

      It is evident that for the sail of a ship upon the sea many systems and networks should have a joint venture. The water has to be a smooth, calm, and a suitable path. The density of water, and the ratio of mass to the volume must be apt; so that some material may float on the water according to Archimedes Law. On the other hand a motor-power is needed which in the past was the wind, and in our age there are various sources of energy in use, such as steam, petrol, atomic power, and etc.

      Ships have always been the largest of transport means for Man, and to-day too, we do have Gigantic ships that are as large as a movable town.

      In spite of all his knowledge and technical skill, power, faculties, and plans, Man is very weak a creature!:ِ

      ``When a trouble touches you on the sea, all those whom you call for help, other than God will leave you in the lurch!''

      In fact Man is no where safe except by the protection of God. An earthquake, a tornado, a shower of rain, a fall of a meteor, a sudden accident, and the invasion of a few microbs.... and then the relationship of man with life and with everything is over, and done with! In such cases the destructing power gives no time to the victim to utter a request for help or even a farewell to a beloved:ِ

      ``Do you then feel secure that He will not make a part of the earth to take you in? Or to send against you a storm of sand to bury you, and you find no one to protect you?''

 

      So if Man flees from the wrath of God, he has no where to go, but, to God Himself, riding the mount of repentance and return.
