Surrah An-Nahl - THE BEE - No 16 - Verse: 13-14-16-17
And He has created for you in the earth varied kinds of things. In this also there is a sign for those who can appreciate Allahs order. verse 13
Allah Almighty has also subjected to you the sea so that, out of it, you may have fresh food and also what you use as your ornaments. You see how the ships plow through the sea carrying you forward in quest of His bounties so that your efforts may fructify.
verse 14
And He has created (various other) landmarks - also the stars to serve as sign-posts as guidance during your journey (during the night). verse 16
Can One who creates and one who cannot, be placed on the same footing? Can you not reflect o this? verse 17
Surrah Al-Baqarah - THE COW - No 2 - Verse: 164
If you wish to see the Laws of Allah Almighty operating, reflect upon the amazing machinery of the Universe and how it has been created; how day and night alternate; how such big ships laden with cargo cross the oceans; how clean water descends from the clouds and gives new life to the dead earth. Reflect, also upon the manner in which species and varieties of animate beings are scattered through the earth; how winds change their direction in different seasons; and how clouds are marshalled to perform their assigned duties in the atmosphere.
Reflection upon these natural phenomena can lead only to one conclusion, namely, that creation has been planned and is controlled by a single Omnipotent Being. This conclusion, however, is reached only by those who apply their mind deeply. verse 164
Surrah YāSīn - YA-SEEN - No 36 - Verse: 41-43
The skies, after all, are too far away. See with what confidence you load your families, young and old, onto boats; and how these boats sail through the seas and rivers laden with all this weight. verse 41
And like these boats, We have also created other things for them to ride in on their travels. verse 42
If Our Law of Mukafat is not in operation all the time, the boats would float sometimes and sink on other occasions, even under similar circumstances. In such a situation no one would be able to help the people on the boats, nor would they reach ashore safely.
verse 43
