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.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from every place and they expect to be engulfed, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."
Then do you feel secure that [instead] He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate.
