24. And His are the ships raised up in the sea like mountains [17].
[17] That is, Allah Almighty granted man such intellect that he was able to construct great, lofty ships which cut through the tumultuous waves of the mighty sea. Therefore, Allah has directly attributed this act to Himself, indicating that these ships are, in reality, not the property of man but belong to Us alone.
