30:46
وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَن يُرۡسِلَ ٱلرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَٰتٖ وَلِيُذِيقَكُم مِّن رَّحۡمَتِهِۦ وَلِتَجۡرِيَ ٱلۡفُلۡكُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٤٦
And of His Signs is that He sends winds to herald good tidings1 and that He may give you a taste of His Mercy, and that ships may sail at His bidding,2 and you may seek His Bounty3 and give thanks to Him.
Footnotes
  • [1] Qira’at: All except for ʻAsem, Hamza, Al-Kesa’i and Khalaf read it as: “. . . to stray from Your way.”
  • [2] That is, to give good news of the rain.
  • [3] This refers to winds, which are helpful in sailing. In ancient times, sailing boats and ships mostly depended on favorable winds and adverse winds were disastrous for them. Therefore, the mention of these winds after the rain bringing winds has been made as a special favor of Allah.
  • [4] “Seek of His bounty”: To perform trade journeys.
  • [5] The Arabic word used is Muslimeenwhich means those who willingly submit to God, regardless of which prophet they followed.
  • [6] Qira’at: Hamza, Al-Kesa’i and Khalaf read it as: “I have attained belief. Indeed, there is no god except the One . . .”
