The Holy Quran 17:69 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ ٱلرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِۦ تَبِيعًا

Translation

Or do you feel secure against Him returning you (to the sea) and then sending a severe windstorm to you (which will sink your vessels) ? Then you will be drowned because of your kufr (not because of any injustice from Us) and you will not find any avenger (to pursue) against Us (because there will be no wrong to redress and none has power against Us).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, He may create some need for which you are compelled to undertake a sea voyage. that is, who can call Allah to account, or who would dare to pursue Him and exact from Him blood money for the criminals?
