وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ لِتَأۡكُلُواْ مِنۡهُ لَحۡمٗا طَرِيّٗا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهُ حِلۡيَةٗ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٤
And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

Commentary on 16:14
"Dan Dia-lah, Allah yang menundukkan lautan (untukmu), agar kamu dapat memakan darinya daging yang segar (ikan), dan kamu mengeluarkan dari lautan itu perhiasan yang kamu pakai; dan kamu melihat bahtera berlayar padanya, dan supaya kamu men-cari (keuntungan) dari karuniaNya, dan supaya kamu bersyukur." (An-Nahl: 14).
(14) Maknanya, [وَ] "Dan" Dia-lah Dzat yang sendiri, tidak ada sekutu bagiNya ﴾ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ ﴿ "yang menundukkan lautan (untuk-mu)," dan menyediakannya demi kemanfaatan-kemanfaatan kalian yang variatif, ﴾ لِتَأۡكُلُواْ مِنۡهُ لَحۡمٗا طَرِيّٗا ﴿ "agar kamu dapat memakan dari-nya daging yang segar (ikan)," yaitu ikan-ikan dan binatang air yang kalian buru, ﴾ وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهُ حِلۡيَةٗ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ ﴿ "dan kamu mengeluarkan dari lautan itu perhiasan yang kamu pakai," sehingga menambah keindahan dan keelokan pada kalian atas pesona yang sudah melekat pada kalian. ﴾ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ ﴿ "Dan kamu melihat bahtera," yaitu kapal-kapal dan perahu-perahu, ﴾ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ ﴿ "berlayar padanya," yaitu membelah lautan yang bergelombang lagi menakutkan, dengan moncong bagian depannya sehingga dapat berlalu di atasnya dari satu wi-layah ke tempat lain, membawa para penumpang, hasil-hasil rizki mereka, barang bawaan serta perniagaan mereka yang mereka jadi-kan sarana untuk mengais rizki-rizki dan kemurahan Allah atas mereka. ﴾ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ﴿ "Dan supaya kamu bersyukur," (kepada Dzat) yang telah memudahkan semua ini bagi kalian dan menyuguhkan-nya, dan menyanjung Allah atas karuniaNya atas kalian. Bagi Allah تعالى segala pujian, syukur dan sanjungan. Pasalnya, Allah telah mem-berikan bagi hamba-hambaNya hal-hal yang menjadi kemaslahatan dan kepentingan mereka, melebihi apa yang mereka cari dan lebih tinggi daripada sesuatu yang mereka harapkan. Dia menganugerahi mereka segala yang mereka minta. Kita tidak dapat menghitung sanjungan atasNya, akan tetapi Dia adalah sebagaimana Dia menyan-jung diriNya.

16:7
وَتَحۡمِلُ أَثۡقَالَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٖ لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ بَٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلۡأَنفُسِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٧
And they carry your loads to a land you could not have reached except with difficulty to yourselves. Indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.
16:8
وَٱلۡخَيۡلَ وَٱلۡبِغَالَ وَٱلۡحَمِيرَ لِتَرۡكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةٗۚ وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٨
And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know.
16:9
وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصۡدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنۡهَا جَآئِرٞۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٩
And upon Allāh1 is the direction of the [right] way, and among them [i.e., the various paths] are those deviating. And if He willed, He could have guided you all.
1 translator’s note
- Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) has taken it upon Himself to guide man to the right path. The meaning has also been interpreted as "To Allāh..." ↩
16:10
هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗۖ لَّكُم مِّنۡهُ شَرَابٞ وَمِنۡهُ شَجَرٞ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ١٠
It is He who sends down rain from the sky; from it is drink and from it is foliage in which you pasture [animals].
16:11
يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرۡعَ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَٰبَ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١١
He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and of all the fruits. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
16:12
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٰتُۢ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ١٢
And He has subjected for you the night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.
16:13
وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣
And [He has subjected] whatever He multiplied for you on the earth of varying colors. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who remember.
16:14
