وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَن يُرْسِلَ ٱلرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَٰتٍۢ وَلِيُذِيقَكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَلِتَجْرِىَ ٱلْفُلْكُ بِأَمْرِهِۦ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

سُورَةُ الرُّومِ
English — Sahih International
And of His signs is that He sends the winds as bringers of good tidings and to let you taste His mercy and so the ships may sail at His command and so you may seek of His bounty, and perhaps you will be grateful.

اُس کی نشانیوں میں سے یہ ہے کہ وہ ہوائیں بھیجتا ہے بشارت دینے کے لیے اور تمہیں اپنی رحمت سے بہرہ مند کرنے کے لیے اور اس غرض کے لیے کہ کشتیاں اس کے حکم سے چلیں اور تم اس کا فضل تلاش کرو اور اس کے شکر گزار بنو
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan di antara tanda-tanda kekuasan-Nya adalah bahwa Dia mengirimkan angin sebagai pembawa berita gembira dan untuk merasakan kepadamu sebagian dari rahmat-Nya dan supaya kapal dapat berlayar dengan perintah-Nya dan (juga) supaya kamu dapat mencari karunia-Nya; mudah-mudahn kamu bersyukur.
Ibn Kathir
Among the Signs of Allah are the Winds
Here Allah mentions the favor He does for His creatures by sending winds to them, as harbingers of His mercy, meaning that they will be followed by rain. Allah says:
وَلِيُذِيقَكُمْ مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِ
(giving you a taste of His mercy,) that is, the rain which will come down and revive people and the land.
وَلِتَجْرِىَ الْفُلْكُ بِأَمْرِهِ
(and that the ships may sail at His command,) means, on the sea, for they are driven by the wind.
وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِ
(and that you may seek of His bounty,) means, by trading, earning a living and traveling from one country to another, one region to another.
وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
(in order that you may be thankful.) means, that you may give thanks to Allah for the innumerable favors He has done for you, both visible and hidden. Then Allah says:
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ رُسُلاً إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُواْ
(And indeed We did send Messengers before you to their own peoples. They came to them with clear proofs, then, We took vengeance on those who committed crimes;) These are words of consolation from Allah to His servant and Messenger Muhammad ﷺ. They tell him that if many of his people and of mankind disbelieve in him, the previous Messengers were also rejected, despite the clear signs that they brought, but Allah punished those who rejected and opposed them, and saved those who believed in them.
وَكَانَ حَقّاً عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنينَ
(and it was incumbent upon Us to help the believers.) This is a duty which Allah took upon Himself as a blessing and a favor to them. This is like the Ayah,
كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ
(your Lord has prescribed mercy for Himself) (6:54). Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Ad-Darda', may Allah be pleased with him, said: "I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying:
«مَا مِنِ امْرِىءٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَرُدُّ عَنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ إِلَّا كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَنْهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَة»
(No Muslim man defends the honor of his brother except that there would be a right upon Allah to defend him from the fire of Hell on the Day of Resurrection.) Then he recited this Ayah:
وَكَانَ حَقّاً عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنينَ
(and it was incumbent upon Us to help the believers.)"
المُيَسَّر
ومن آيات الله الدالة على أنه الإله الحق وحده لا شريك له وعلى عظيم قدرته إرسال الرياح أمام المطر مبشرات بإثارتها للسحاب، فتستبشر بذلك النفوس؛ وليذيقكم من رحمته بإنزاله المطر الذي تحيا به البلاد والعباد، ولتجري السفن في البحر بأمر الله ومشيئته، ولتبتغوا من فضله بالتجارة وغيرها؛ فعل الله ذلك من أجل أن تشكروا له نعمه وتعبدوه وحده.
