Have you not seen realised that God has disposed for you all that is in the earth of beasts and that the ships run upon the sea for transport and to carry loads by His command by His leave and He holds back the heaven lest it should fall on the earth save when it may do so by His leave and you are destroyed. Surely God is with mankind Gentle Merciful in disposing things for them and holding others back from them.
- 22:6565
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالْفُلْكَ تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِ وَيُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ
Do you not see God has harnessed all that is in the earth, to your service? And the boats ply in the ocean by His command. He holds the sky in position lest it should fall upon the earth save by His dispensation. Verily God is compassionate and kind to men.
