And (remember) when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate before 'Adam." So, they prostrated, except Iblis (Satan). He said, "Shall I prostrate before the one You have created from mud?'

He added, 'Tell me, this one whom You have honoured above me; if You give me respite till the Doomsday, I shall subdue his progeny, except a few of them."

He (Allah) said, "Go then, for whoever of them follows you, the Hell shall be the recompense of you all - a full recompense.

And entice with your voice those of them you can, and rally against them your horsemen and your footmen, and share with them in their wealth and their children, and make promises to them" - and Satan promises them nothing but delusion

"As for My servants, you have no control over them. And your Lord is enough to look after (everything)."

Your Lord is the One who causes ships to sail for you through the sea, so that you may go in quest of His bounty; surely, He is Ever Merciful for you.

And when you face a hardship at sea, forgotten are those whom you used to invoke, except Him (Allah). Then, once He brings you safe to the land, you turn away (from Him). And man is so ungrateful.

Do you, then, feel secure from that He makes a part of the land sink down along with you, or that He sends down a rain of stones on you, whereupon you will find no one to protect you?

Or, do you feel secure from that He takes you back to it (the sea) once again, and sends a heavy storm of wind upon you which drowns you for your disbelief, whereupon you will find no one to pursue your case against Us?

And We bestowed dignity on the children of 'Adam and provided them with rides on the land and in the sea, and provided them with a variety of good things and made them much superior to many of those We created.
