Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 17 Al-Isra, Ayat 67-67
وَاِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِى الۡبَحۡرِ ضَلَّ مَنۡ تَدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اِيَّاهُ ۚ فَلَمَّا نَجّٰٮكُمۡ اِلَى الۡبَرِّ اَعۡرَضۡتُمۡ ؕ وَكَانَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ كَفُوۡرًا
﴿17:67﴾
(17:67) When a calamity befalls you on the sea, all those whom you invoke
forsake you except Him.84 But when He delivers you safely to the
shore you turn away from Him, for man is indeed most thankless.
Notes
84. That is, this is a proof of the fact that your real nature knows no other
Lord than Allah, and you feel in the depths of your hearts that He alone possesses
the real power of every gain or loss. Had it not been so, man would never have
invoked Allah at the time when he realized that no other helper could remove
his misfortune.
