Translation of Verse 12-21

12. Allah is the One Who has subjected the sea for you so that ships may sail upon it by His command, and that you may seek His bounty, and that perhaps you will be grateful.

13. He ˹also˺ subjected for you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth-all by His grace. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.

14. ˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believers to forgive those who do not fear Allah's days ˹of torment˺, so that He will reward each group for what they used to commit.

15. Whoever does good, it is to their own benefit. And whoever does evil, it is to their own loss. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned.

16. Indeed, We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood; granted them good, lawful provisions; and favoured them above the others. ¹⁰²⁸

17. We ˹also˺ gave them clear commandments regarding ˹their˺ faith. But it was not until knowledge came to them that they differed out of mutual envy. ¹⁰²⁹ Surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences.

18. Now We have set you ˹O Prophet˺ on the ˹clear˺ Way of faith. So follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know ˹the truth˺.

19. They certainly can be of no benefit to you against Allah whatsoever. Surely the wrongdoers are patrons of each other, whereas Allah is the Patron of the righteous.

20. This ˹Quran˺ is an insight for humanity-a guide and mercy for people of sure faith.

21. Or do those who commit evil deeds ˹simply˺ think that We will make them equal-in their life and after their death-to those who believe and do good? How wrong is their judgment!

Commentary

1028. By sending many prophets, and showing them unique miracles such as the splitting of the sea.

1029. No community split into believers and disbelievers until they received the knowledge given by their prophet.
