وهو الذي سخر البحر لتاكلوا منه لحما طريا وتستخرجوا منه حلية تلبسونها وترى الفلك مواخر فيه ولتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون

It is He Who has made The sea subject, that ye May eat thereof flesh That is fresh and tender, And that ye may extract Therefrom ornaments to wear; And thou seest the ships Therein that plough the waves, That ye may seek (thus) Of the bounty of God And that ye may be grateful.
