Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Signs in the Oceans, Mountains, Rivers, Roads and StarsAllah tells us how He has subjected the seas, with their waves lapping the shores, and how He blesses His servants by subjecting the seas for them so that they may travel on them, and by putting fish and whales in them, by making their flesh permissible to eat - whether they are caught alive or dead - at all times, including when people are in a state of Ihram.
