Back to full surahAl-Isrâ’ 17:66
رَّبُّكُمُ الَّذِي يُزْجِي لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِي الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا ٦٦
Rabbukumu allathee yuzjee lakumu alfulka fee albahri litabtaghoo min fadlihi innahu kana bikum raheeman

“(O mankind), your Lord is He Who driveth for you the ship upon the sea that ye may seek of His bounty. Lo! He was ever Merciful toward you.” (17:66)
Ships are a Sign of the Mercy of Allah
Allah tells us of His kindness towards His servants by subjugating for them ships on the sea. He makes it easy for them to use ships to serve their interests, seeking His bounty through trade between one region and another. He says:
إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا
(Truly, He is ever Most Merciful towards you.) meaning, He does this for you out of His grace and mercy towards you.
