We have made night and day as two signs.

Thus We have expounded everything in detail to keep everything distinct from the other.

رَبُّكُمُ الَّذِىۡ يُزۡجِىۡ لَـكُمُ الۡفُلۡكَ فِى الۡبَحۡرِ لِتَبۡتَغُوۡا مِنۡ فَضۡلِهٖؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيۡمًا‏ ٦٦

Your Lord is He Who steers your vessels across the seas that you may seek of His Bounty. He is ever Merciful towards you.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tumhara (haqeeqi) Rubb to woh hai jo samandar mein tumhari kashti chalata hai taa-ke tum uska fazal talash karo. Haqeeqat yeh hai ke woh tumhare haal par nihayat meharban hai

وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى الۡبَحۡرِ ضَلَّ مَنۡ تَدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اِيَّاهُ​ ۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰٮكُمۡ اِلَى الۡبَرِّ اَعۡرَضۡتُمۡ​ ؕ وَكَانَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ كَفُوۡرًا‏  ٦٧

When a calamity befalls you on the sea, all those whom you invoke forsake you except Him. But when He delivers you safely to the shore you turn away from Him, for man is indeed most thankless.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jab samandar mein tumpar museebat aati hai to us ek ke siwa dusre jin jin ko tum pukara karte ho woh sab ghum ho jatey hain, magar jab woh tumko bacha kar khushki(land) par pahuncha deta hai to tum ussey mooh moad jatey ho.Insan waqai bada nashukra hai

اَفَاَمِنۡتُمۡ اَنۡ يَّخۡسِفَ بِكُمۡ جَانِبَ الۡبَرِّ اَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوۡالَـكُمۡ وَكِيۡلًا ۙ‏ ٦٨

Do you, then, feel secure against His causing you to be swallowed up by a tract of the earth, or letting loose a deadly whirlwind charged with stones towards you, and there you will find none to protect you?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Accha, to kya tum is baat se bilkul be-khauf ho ke khuda kabhi khushki (land) par hi tumko zameen mein dhansa dey, ya tumpar pathrao karne wali aandhi bhej de aur tum ussey bachane wala koi himayati na pao

اَمۡ اَمِنۡتُمۡ اَنۡ يُّعِيۡدَكُمۡ فِيۡهِ تَارَةً اُخۡرٰى فَيُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيۡحِ فَيُغۡرِقَكُمۡ بِمَا كَفَرۡتُمۡ​ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوۡا لَـكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا بِهٖ تَبِيۡعًا‏ ٦٩

Or do you feel secure that He will not cause you to revert to the sea, and let a tempest loose upon you and then drown you for your ingratitude whereupon you will find none even to inquire of Us what happened to you?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur kya tumhein iska koi andesha nahin ke khuda phir kisi waqt samandar mein tumko le jaye aur tumhari nashukri ke badle tumpar sakht toofaani hawa bhej kar tumhein garq karde aur tumko aisa koi na miley jo ussey tumhare is anjaam ki pooch-gajj kar sakey

وَلَـقَدۡ كَرَّمۡنَا بَنِىۡۤ اٰدَمَ وَحَمَلۡنٰهُمۡ فِى الۡبَرِّ وَالۡبَحۡرِ وَرَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلۡنٰهُمۡ عَلٰى كَثِيۡرٍ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقۡنَا تَفۡضِيۡلًا‏ ٧٠

Indeed, We honoured the progeny of Adam, and bore them across land and sea and provided them with good things for their sustenance, and exalted them above many of Our creatures.

Yeh to hamari inayat hai ke humne bani Adam ko buzurgi (honour) di aur unhein khushki (land) o tari (sea) mein sawariyan ata kiye aur unko pakeeza cheezon se rizq diya aur apni bahut se makhlooqat par numayan fawqiyat (exalt) bakshi

يَوۡمَ نَدۡعُوۡا كُلَّ اُنَاسٍۢ بِاِمَامِهِمۡ​ۚ فَمَنۡ اُوۡتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيۡنِهٖ فَاُولٰۤٮِٕكَ يَقۡرَءُوۡنَ كِتٰبَهُمۡ وَلَا يُظۡلَمُوۡنَ فَتِيۡلًا‏ ٧١

Then think of the Day We shall summon every community with its leader. Those who are given their Record in their right hand shall read the Record of their deeds and shall not be wronged a whit.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir khayal karo us din ka jabke hum har Insaani giroh ko uske peshwa(leader) ke sath bulayenge, us waqt jin logon ko unka naam-e-aamal seedhay haath mein diya gaya woh apna karnama padhenge aur unpar zarra barabar zulm na hoga
