When In Need

Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to
Allah.
Allah is SelfSufficient and worthy of all praise.
If all the trees on earth were pens and all the seas,
with seven more seas besides, [were ink,] still
Allah’s words would not run out: Allah is Almighty
and All Wise.Creating and resurrecting all of you is
only like creating or resurrecting a single soul:
Allah All Hearing and All Seeing. Do you not see
that Allah causes the night to merge into day and
the day to merge into night; that He has subjected
the sun and the moon, each to run its course for a
stated term; that He is aware of everything you
[people] do? This is because Allah is the Truth, and
what they invoke beside Him is false.
He is the Most High, Most Great. Do you not see
that ships sail through the sea, by the grace of
Allah, to show you [people] some of His wonders?
Truly there are signs in this for every steadfast,
thankful person.
When the waves loom over those on board like
giant shadows they callout to Allah, devoting their
religion entirely to Him.
But, when He has delivered them safely to land,
some of them waver only a treacherous, thankless
person refuses to acknowledge Our signs.
O Humankind, be mindful of your Lord and fear a
day when noparent will take the place of their
child, nor a child take the place of their parent, in
any way. Allah’s promise is true, so do not let the
present life delude you, nor let the deceiver delude
you about Allah.
[Chapter 31, Verses 26-33]
