And We made similar vessels for them to ride.
And We have created for them similar ships, in which they now ride.
and We have created for them the like of it whereon they ride;
and [that] We create for them things of a similar kind, on which they may embark [in their travels];
And We have created for them of the like thereUnto whereon they ride.
And We have created for them of the like thereunto, so on them they ride.
And We created for them the like of it, in which they ride.
and then created for them other vessels like those on which they ride.
And We have created for them of the like thereunto, on which they ride.
And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride.
and We have created for them what is similar to it, which they ride.
And We have created for them the like of it in which they board.
And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.
and created for them similar things to ride.
And We have created for them the like of it, what they will ride on.
Wakhalaqn<u>a</u> lahum min mithlihi m<u>a</u> yarkaboon<b>a</b>
We have created for them the like of it in which they ride.
And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.
وَخَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ
A sign for them of Allah’s Oneness and His favour to His servants is that I created for them, like the ship of Noah, conveyances and some types of animals on which they can travel long distances.

<p>No wonder if the Qur'an is alluding to the aeroplane!</p><p>But, it is obvious that the Qur'an has not specifically named a camel or some other particular mode of conveyance at this place. This includes every such means of transportation that carries people and their baggage, accompanied or unaccompanied, right up to their desired destination. In our time, the invention of aeroplanes has made it amply clear that aeroplanes are the greatest substantiation of the Qur'anic statement: مِّن مِّثْلِهِ (mim-mithlihi: things similar to it). Then, its similarity with boat or ship is strongly supportive of it, because the way the ship of the sea sails on the surface of the water, and the mass of water does not make it drown, similarly, the airplane sails or flies over the bed of air and it does not throw it down. No wonder if the Qur'an may have left the statement: مِّن مِّثْلِهِ مَا يَرْ‌كَبُونَ (mim-mithlihi ma yarkabun: things similar to it that they ride) ambiguous, so that all modes of conveyance and transportation that continue to be invented right through the last Day of Qiyamah get to be included therein. And Allah knows best.</p>
