هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِهَا جَاءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَاءَهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ
It is He who carries you across land and sea. When you are in the ships, and they sail along with them with a favourable wind, exulting in it, there comes upon them a tempestuous wind and waves assail them from every side, and they think that they are besieged, they invoke Allah putting exclusive faith in Him, ‘If You deliver us from this, we will surely be among the grateful.’
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 10:22
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 10:22] Refer to the commentary of al An-am: 63 and 64. Allah has freely given intelligence, power of observation and contemplation to man, out of His grace, on which the disbelievers pride themselves and remain petty and boastful, as is illustrated by the parable from the sea. In their insolence and pride they do not see how small and ephemeral is that which is mortal. By their pretensions they only hurt themselves. Verse 25 says that in contrast with the mortal life of this world, there is a higher life to which Allah is always calling. There is no fear, nor disappointment, nor sorrow there. All are called but only those will be chosen who have sought, not material advantages, but the good pleasure of Allah. Salam (peace) is from the same root as Islam, the religion of unity, harmony and bliss. Salam is also one of the holy names Allah is addressed with. To become a Muslim means to live in peace with the Creator-Lord by submitting to His will and to be in peace with His creation, particularly mankind. The peace of this world leads to the peace or bliss of the hereafter. Refer to the commentary of al Fatihah: 6 and 7 for the "right path."
