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.
وإذا مسكم الضر في البحر ضل من تدعون إلا إياه فلما نجاكم إلى البر أعرضتم وكان الإنسان كفورا
