📖 Commentary of Surah Ya-Sin – Verse 42

"And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride. [64]"

✅ [64] Continuation of Divine Favour Through Ships

This verse refers to the vessels and ships that were made after the Ark of Hazrat Nuh (عليه السلام). From his time until the Day of Judgement, Allah has continued to bestow this blessing of transport through the inspiration and ability to build ships.

The Ark of Nuh (عليه السلام) is regarded as the origin of all maritime vessels, and he is identified as the first inventor of shipbuilding. This concept is confirmed in the twelfth Juz' (Para) of the Qur'an.

Thus, every ship made since then is part of the legacy of that original miracle, and a sign of Allah’s enduring mercy and gift of knowledge to mankind.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Yaseen verse 42 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Yaseen ayat 41 which provides the complete commentary from verse 41 through 44.

(36:42) and then created for them other vessels like those on which they ride.[39]

Ala-Maududi

(36:42) and then created for them other vessels like those on which they ride.[39]


39. This indicates that the first vessel ever to be made in the world was the one made by the Prophet Noah (peace be upon him). Before that time man did not know any method of crossing the rivers and the seas. This method was first of all taught by Allah to the Prophet Noah (peace be upon him), and when some servants, of Allah were rescued in it from the flood, their future generations started making boats and ships for their sea journeys.

(42) And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.
