The Holy Quran 31:31 — Surah Luqman

Arabic text

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱلْفُلْكَ تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ لِيُرِيَكُم مِّنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ

Translation

In this are definite Aayaat for every extremely patient and grateful person (because such people take the time to reflect and appreciate what they see).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The signs of Allah in a sea voyage: that is, reflecting on the circumstances and incidents of this sea voyage provides a person with occasions for patience and gratitude.
