Ar-Rahmaan (The Beneficent)

24. And His are the ships built, like mountains.

25. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?

In the treatment of other Blessings, the Holy Qur’an did not make use of

"His" (lahu),

but regarding ships, Divine Revelation says:

"His are built ships"

intending to say that even the product built by you is also His, since the idea, plan, and the physical strength required for building and making things all spring from Him. Thus, the Holy Qur’an is saying that ships floating in seas with sails resembling mountains are all manifestations of Divine Graciousness. Mujahid is quoted as saying that the Arabic word munsha’at is applied to sailing ships.

The point is that when you see the Signs of Divine Graciousness, Omnipotence, and Greatness, note that Divine Favors include ships made up of pieces of wood upon which you embark and travel in such vast seas. Then, how do you deny your Lord's Bounties and Blessings. Who, other than God Almighty, the Omnipotent, has given you such might and power?
