Winds, according to these verses, drive the clouds and help bring down rain, fertilize plants and come as good tidings of Allah’s mercy; their alternation is among His signs. They also serve as images in parables, as a warning to the disobedient and as an instrument of punishment, a violent wind or a destructive hurricane, as well as a support for the victory of the believers.

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allāh has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and earth are signs for a people who use reason.
