وَإِذَا
مَسَّكُمُ
الضُّرُّ
فِي

مَن
تَدْعُونَ
إِلَّا
إِيَّاهُ
فَلَمَّا
نَجَّاكُمْ
إِلَى
الْبَرِّ
أَعْرَضْتُمْ
وَكَانَ
الْإِنسَانُ
كَفُورًا
wa-ʾidhā massakumu ḍ-ḍurru fī l-baḥri ḍalla man tadʿūna ʾillā ʾiyyāhu fa-lammā najjākum ʾilā l-barri ʾaʿraḍtum wa-kāna l-ʾinsānu kafūran
If you are afflicted by hardships in the middle of the sea, it would be an error to call anyone other than Him for help. When God saves you from such difficulties, you turn away from Him. The human being has always been ungrateful.
