Dr. Ghali
Have you not seen that Allah has subjected to you whatever is in the earth and the ships to run upon the sea (Literally: in the sea) at His Command, and He holds back the heaven so that it should not fall down upon the earth except by His permission?

Have you not considered how God has made everything on the earth of service to you? That ships sail the sea at His command? That He keeps the heavens from falling down on the earth without His permission? God is most compassionate and most merciful to mankind-

Muhammad Junagarhi
کیا آپ نے نہیں دیکھا کہ اللہ ہی نے زمین کی تمام چیزیں تمہارے لئے مسخر کر دی ہیں اور اس کے فرمان سے پانی میں چلتی ہوئی کشتیاں بھی۔ وہی آسمان کو تھامے ہوئے ہے کہ زمین پر اس کی اجازت کے بغیر نہ گر پڑے، بیشک اللہ تعالیٰ لوگوں پر شفقت ونرمی کرنے واﻻ اور مہربان ہے
