Verse 32of 53

Ships are also among the Signs of AllahAllah tells us that another sign of His great power and dominion is the fact that He has subjugated the sea so that ships may sail in it by His command, so they sail in the sea like mountains. This was the view of Mujahid, Al-Hasan, As-Suddi and Ad-Dahhak. In other words, these ships on the sea are like mountains on land.إِن يَشَأْ يُسْكِنِ الرِّيحَ(If He wills, He causes the wind to cease,) means, the winds that cause the ships to travel on the sea.
