SIGNS OF ALLĀH IN THE OCEANS, MOUNTAINS, RIVERS, ROADS AND STARS
ALLĀH tells;
وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُواْ مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُواْ مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيه
And HE it is Who subjected the sea ˹to you˺, that you may eat from the fresh tender meat, and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships plowing through it,
ALLĀH tells us how HE has subjected the seas, with their waves lapping the shores, and how HE blesses HIS servants by subjecting the seas for them so that they may travel on them, and by putting fish and whales in them, by making their flesh permissible to eat - whether they are caught alive or dead - at all times, including when people are in a state of Ihram.
HE has created pearls and precious jewels in the oceans, and made it easy for HIS servants to recover ornaments that they can wear from the ocean floor.
HE made the sea such that it carries the ships which plow through it. HE is the One Who taught mankind to make ships, which is the inheritance of their forefather Nūh. HE was the first one to travel by ship, he was taught how to make them, then people took this knowledge from him and passed it down from generation to generation through the centuries, so that they could travel from country to country and from place to place, bringing goods from here to there and from there to here.
Thus ALLĀH says:
وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
that you may seek from HIS bounty and that you may perhaps be grateful.
for HIS bounty and blessings.
ALLĀH says:
وَأَلْقَى فِي الَارْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ
And HE has driven firm standing mountains into the earth, lest it should shake with you;
ALLĀH mentions the earth and how HE placed in it mountains standing firm, which make it stable and keep it from shaking in such a manner that the creatures dwelling on it would not be able to live. Hence ALLĀH says,
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَـهَا
And the mountains HE has fixed firmly. (79:32)
وَأَنْهَارًا وَسُبُلً
and rivers and roads,
meaning HE has made rivers which flow from one place to another, bringing provision for HIS servants.
The rivers arise in one place, and bring provision to people living in another place. They flow through lands and fields and wildernesses, through mountains and hills, until they reach the land whose people they are meant to benefit. They meander across the land, left and right, north and south, east and west - rivers great and small - flowing sometimes and ceasing sometimes, flowing from their sources to the places where the water gathers, flowing rapidly or moving slowly, as decreed by ALLĀH. There is no god besides HIM and no Lord except HIM.
Tafsir Ibn Kathīr
"...and that you may perhaps be grateful" to the One Who made these things available for you and prepared them, and so that you may praise ALLĀH Who has blessed you with them. To ALLĀH be all praise and thanks, for HE has given people that which is in their interests and to their benefit, more than they ask for and wish for, and HE has given them some of all that they ask for. We cannot praise HIM enough; rather HE is as HE has praised HIMSELF.
