Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Among the Signs of Allah are the WindsHere 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.
