The Koran (Al-Qur'an) PUBLIC SERVICES, / AND EMINENT LITERARY ATTAINMENTS, / THE TRANSLATOR. / PREFACE; lines 10088-10219 confidence: high
God speeds ships in the sea; in danger at sea people find God alone present, but after safe arrival on land they distance themselves from him; the passage warns of earth-cleaving and a sand-filled whirlwind with no protector.
People in danger at sea invoke God alone, are brought safely to dry land, and then distance themselves from him.
