42. And We created for them similar things on which they ride [41].
[41] ﴿من مثله﴾ can also be understood to mean that mankind learned to build boats like the Ark of Sayyiduna Nuh (Noah) ؑ, the knowledge of which was given by Allah. In this sense, Sayyiduna Nuh ؑ is the inventor of the boat or ship, and it can also mean that other things similar to boats were created, and by this are meant all the vehicles that move on the sea, land, or in the air, and upon which humans ride.
