S 2:50 And when we parted the sea for you we saved you and drowned Fir’awn’s family while you look.
S 2:164 In the creation of the skies and the Earth and the difference of night and day and the ships which run in the sea with what benefits people and what Allah has sent down from the sky of water and has vivified the Earth therewith after its death and has spread thereon of every beast and the change of winds and the clouds subjected between the sky and the Earth are signs for people who comprehend.
S 5:96 Game of the sea and its food has been permitted for you as enjoyment for you and for the caravan and forbidden for you game of the land as long as you are hurum. And fear Allah, the one whom you are being gathered to.
See Sahih Muslim 1935a - The Book of Hunting, Slaughter, and what may be Eaten - كتاب الصيد والذبائح وما يؤكل من الحيوان - Allah's boss eating meat from a dead whale. See also A Brief Look at Food
S 6:59 And he has the keys of the ghayb; none knows them but him. And he knows what is in the land and the sea. And no leaf falls but he knows it. And not a grain in the darknesses of the Earth nor wet nor dry but it is in a clear book.
Why speak of a clear book unless man has access to it?
S 6:63 Say: Who saves you from the darknesses of the land and the sea? You invoke him in obtestation and surreptitiously. If he has saved us from this we shall be of the grateful.
S 6:97 And he is the one who made for you the stars to be guided by in the darknesses of the land and the sea. We have detailed the signs for people who know.
S 7:138 And we passed beyond the sea with the Banu Isra’il. Then they came upon a people devoting themselves to idols of theirs. They said: Musa, make us a god like what gods they have. He said: You are ignorant people.
S 7:163 And ask them about the village that was present by the sea when they transgress concerning the Sabbath, when their whales come to them on their Sabbath day as sails, and on a day they do not keep the Sabbath they do not come to them. Thus do we test them because they were acting immorally.
S 10:22 He is the one who makes you roll round on the land and the sea until when you are on the ships and they run with them with a good wind and they rejoice therein, a stormy wind comes to them and the waves come to them from every place and they think that they are surrounded by them. They have invoked Allah sincerely towards him in religion: If you save us from this, we will be of the grateful.
S 10:90 And we passed beyond the sea with the Banu Isra’il and Fir’awn and his troops followed them in rebellion and enmity until when the drowning came suddenly upon them, he said: I have believed that there is no god but the one whom the Banu Isra’il has believed in and I am of the Muslims.
S 14:32 Allah is the one who created the skies and the Earth and sent down water from the sky then brought out therewith some of the fruits as provision for you and subjected to you the ships that they might run in the sea by his command and subjected to you the rivers
Not all of the fruits, just some of the fruits? How might rivers be subject to man?
S 16:14 And he is the one who has subjected the sea that you may eat fresh meat from it and bring out a bijou from it to wear. And you see ships ploughing in it and to seek of his favour and perhaps you will thank.
S 17:66 Your lord is the one who drives for you the ship on the sea that you may seek of his favour. He was merciful to you.
S 17:67 And when harm has touched you in the sea, he whom you invoke has strayed except him. But when he has saved you to the land you have turned away. And man was an ingrate.
S 17:70 And we honoured the Banu Adam and carried them in the land and the sea and provided them from the good things and preferred them to many of those we had created with preference.
But not preferred to every rational being.
S 18:60 And when Musa said to his slave boy: I shall not abandon until I reach the junction of the two seas or pass for a huqub.
S 18:61 But when they had reached a junction between them they had forgotten their whale and it had taken its way into the sea as a burrow.
S 18:63 He said: Did you see when we retired to the rock? Then I forgot the whale. And nothing made me forget it but the Devil, to mention it. And it took its way into the sea wondrously.
S 18:79 As for the ship, it was poor people’s, working in the sea. So I wanted to render it defective and there was a king behind them taking every ship by force.
Al-Khidr scuppers these poor people's ship to avoid its being taken by a king (!)
S 18:109 Say: If the sea were ink for my lord’s words, the sea would be exhausted before my lord’s words were exhausted, even if we brought the like of it as aid.
S 20:77 And we inspired Musa: Travel by night with my slaves and strike a way for them in the sea, dry, not fearing a path nor fearing.
S 22:65 Have you not seen that Allah has subjected to you what is on the Earth? And the ships running in the sea by his command? And he holds the sky lest it falls on the Earth except with his permission. Allah is kind, merciful to people.
S 24:40 Or like darknesses in a deep sea. A wave above it, a wave above it covers it, a cloud, darknesses. Some of them above others. When he has taken his hand out he has barely seen it. And he whom Allah has not made light for has no light.
S 25:53 And he is the one who mixed the two seas. This one freshwater, sweet water, and this one salt, salty. And he put between them an isthmus and a forbidden enclosure.
S 26:63 Then we inspired Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. Then it split apart and each part was like the great Tawd.
S 27:61 Or who made the Earth a domicile and made its interstice rivers and made for it stabilisers and made between the two seas a barrier? Is there a god with Allah? Rather, most of them do not know.
S 27:63 Or he who guides you in the darknesses of the land and the sea and he who sends the winds as good news in front of his mercy? Is there a god with Allah? Exalted be Allah above what they associate!
S 30:41 Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea for what the hands of the people have earned that he may make them taste some of that which they have done; perhaps they will return.
S 31:27 And were what is on the Earth of a tree pens and the sea spreading it after it seven seas, Allah’s words would not be exhausted. Allah is mighty, wise.
S 31:31 Have you not seen that the ships run in the sea by Allah’s grace that he may show you of his signs? In that there are signs for every patient, grateful man.
S 35:12 And the two seas are not equal. This one is freshwater, sweet water, palatable is its drink, and this one is salt, salty. And from each you eat fresh meat and remove a bijou wearing it. And you see the ships in it, ploughing, that you may seek of his favour and perhaps you thank.
S 42:32 And of his signs are the ships in the sea like the flags
S 44:24 .And leave the sea leisurely. They are a drowned troop.
S 45:12 Allah is the one who subjected to you the sea that the ships might run therein by his command and that you might seek of his favour and perhaps you will be grateful.
S 52:6 By the swelling sea.
S 55:19 He mixed the two seas, meeting.
S 55:24 And his are the produced ships in the sea like the flags.
S 81:6 And when the seas have blazed
S 82:3 And when the seas are poured forth
