Surah Al Isra ayat 69 Tafsir Quran 17:69

﴿أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ تَبِيعًا﴾
[ الإسراء: 69]

17:69 Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.

Or do you feel secure that He will not return you to it that is to the sea a second time and unleash upon you a shattering gale that is a violent wind that shatters everything in its path to destroy your ship and drown you for your ungratefulness? And then you will not find for yourselves any redresser of this against Us any helper or advocate to demand restitution from Us for what We will have done to you.

Or do you feel really secure and in your minds you are sure that He will not send you back to sea on another occasion and send against you a gale of considerable strength that drowns you in requital of your ingratitude and no avenger will you find to exact satisfaction or retaliate upon Us on your behalf

Perhaps He will send You back to the Sea Allah says, أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ ( Or do you feel secure ), `you who turn away from Us after acknowledging Our Oneness at sea once you are back upon dry land,' أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ ( that He will not send you back ) to sea a second time فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ الرِّيحِ ( and send against you a Qasif ) which will destroy your masts and sink your vessels.
Ibn `Abbas and others said, "Al-Qasif is the wind of the sea which destroys vessels and sinks them." فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ( and drown you because of your disbelief ) means because of your rejection and turning away from Allah. ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُواْ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ تَبِيعًا ( Then you will not find any avenger therein against Us. ) Ibn `Abbas said that this means a helper.
Mujahid said, "A helper who will avenge you," i.e., take revenge on your behalf.
Qatadah said it means, "We are not afraid that anyone will pursue Us with anything of that nature ( i.e., vengeance )."

( Or feel ye ) O people of Mecca ( secure that He will not return you to that (plight )) to the sea ( a second time, and send against you a hurricane of wind and drown you ) in the sea ( for your thanklessness ) for your denial of Allah and your ingratitude towards His bounty, ( and then ye will not find therein that ye have any avenger against Us ) for drowning you?

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back a second time to sea and send against you a hurricane of wind and drown you because of your disbelief, then you will not find any avenger therein against Us?
