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.

Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into it [i.e., the sea] another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.
And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.
