42:32 And among His signs are the ships, sailing in the sea like mountains.

42:33 If He wills, He can still the wind, leaving the ships motionless on its surface. Indeed, there are signs in this for everyone who is steadfast and grateful.

42:34 Or He can capsize them[1] for what they committed, but He pardons much,

42:35 then those who dispute concerning Our signs will know that they have no escape.

42:36 Whatever you have been given is but a short enjoyment of the life of this world, but what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord;

42:37 and those who avoid major sins and shameful deeds, and when they are angered, they forgive;

42:38 and those who respond to their Lord and establish prayer, and conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and spend out of what We have provided for them;

42:39 and those who retaliate fairly when oppressed[1].

42:40 The retribution of harm is its equivalent harm, but whoever pardons and seeks reconciliation, his reward is with Allah. Indeed, He does not like the wrongdoers.

42:41 But whoever retaliates after being wronged, there is no blame on them.

42:42 Blame is only on those who wrong people and transgress in the land without right. For such there will be a painful punishment.

42:43 But whoever observes patience and forgives, it is indeed a matter of great resolve[1].

42:44 Whoever Allah causes to stray, he will have no protector thereafter. You will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying, “Is there any way to go back?”
