Winds and rains are among the proofs of Allah's power and comparison of disbelievers with the dead

Among His signs are the breezes He sends as harbingers of happy news, so that He may allow you to taste of His mercy, and that ships may sail by His command, and you may seek of His bounty, and may haply be grateful.

Verily We sent many apostles before you to their people, who brought clear signs with them. Then We retributed those who were sinful. It is a duty incumbent on Us to help the believers.

It is God who sends the breezes that raise clouds, then spreads them over the sky as He please, fold on fold, then you see the drops of rain issue from between them. When He sends it down to those of His creatures as He will, they are filled with joy,

Although before it came down they were despondent.

So consider the signs of His benevolence: How He quickens the earth after it had become waste. He is verily the one who will raise the dead. He has power over everything.

If We send a (blighting) wind and they see (the earth) seared autumnal, they would surely become ungrateful.

You cannot make the dead to listen nor the deaf hear the call when they have turned back and retreated,

Nor can you make the blind see the way when they have gone astray. You can make none hear except those who believe Our signs and have come to submission.
