Al-Isra' · Ayah 66 · Juz 15 · Page 288
رَّبُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُزۡجِي لَكُمُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ لِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمٗا ٦٦
Rabbukumul-ladhī yuzjī lakumul-fulka fil-baḥri litabtaghū min faḍlih, innahū kāna bikum raḥīmā.
It is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful.
Translation: Sahih International
Your Lord is He Who drives the ship for you through the sea, in order that you may seek of His bounty. Truly, He is ever Most Merciful towards you (66)
Allah tells us of His kindness towards His servants by subjugating for them ships on the sea. He makes it easy for them to use ships to serve their interests, seeking His bounty through trade between one region and another. He says:
إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا
(Truly, He is ever Most Merciful towards you.) meaning, He does this for you out of His grace and mercy towards you.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمٗا
