(24–25) “To Him belong the sailing ships, towering upon the sea like mountains. * Which, then, of your Lord’s favors will you both deny?”

That is, Allah Most High has subjected to His servants the sailing ships that plow through the sea and cleave it by Allah’s permission, and which human beings construct. Owing to their immense size and grandeur, they resemble towering landmarks—that is, great mountains. People board them and load them with their belongings, their various kinds of merchandise, and whatever else their needs and necessities require. The Preserver of the heavens and earth protects them. This is among Allah’s magnificent blessings. Hence He said: “Which, then, of your Lord’s favors will you both deny?”
