:32. And among His Signs are the ships, smooth-running through the ocean, (tall) as mountains.
:33. If it be His Will He can still the Wind: then would they become motionless on the back of the (ocean). Verily in this are Signs for everyone who patiently perseveres and is grateful.
:34. Or He can cause them to perish because of the (evil) which (the men) have earned; but much doth He forgive.
:35. But let those know, who dispute about Our Signs, that there is for them no way of escape.
:36. Whatever ye are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this life: but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord:
:37. Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive;
:38. Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance;
:39. And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help and defend themselves.
:40. The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.
:41. But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame.
:42. The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous.
:43. But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs.
:44. For any whom Allah leaves astray, there is no protector thereafter. And thou wilt see the Wrong-doers, when in sight of the Penalty, Say: "Is there any way (to effect) a return?"
