ﱓAnd whenﱔthey embarkﱕ[in]ﱖthe shipﱗthey callﱘAllahﱙ(being) sincereﱚto Himﱛ(in) the religionﱜBut whenﱝHe delivers themﱞtoﱟthe landﱠbeholdﱡtheyﱢassociate partners (with Him)ﱣ(65)

If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺.

ﱤSo that they may denyﱥ[in] whatﱦWe have given themﱧﱨand they may enjoy (themselves)ﱩBut soonﱪthey will knowﱫ(66)

So let them be ungrateful for all We have given them, and ˹let them˺ enjoy themselves ˹for now˺! For they will soon know.

Have they not seen how We have made ˹Mecca˺ a safe haven, whereas people ˹all˺ around them are snatched away?1 How can they then believe in falsehood2 and deny Allah’s favours?

29:68

And who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or reject the truth after it has reached them? Is Hell not a ˹fitting˺ home for the disbelievers?

As for those who struggle in Our cause, We will surely guide them along Our Way. And Allah is certainly with the good-doers.
