It is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice
Tafsir
Verse range: 30:48
The Revival of the Earth is a Sign of the Resurrection Here Allah explains how He creates the clouds that rain the water
الله الذي يرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا
Allah is He Who sends the winds, so that they raise clouds, either from the sea, as was mentioned by more than one (of the scholars), or from whatever Allah wills.
فيبسطه في السماء كيف يشاء
and spread them along the sky as He wills, means, He spreads them and causes them to increase and grow. From a little He makes a lot, and creates the clouds that look like shields. Then He spreads them out until they fill the horizon. Sometimes the clouds come from the sea, heavy and full, as Allah says:
وهو الذى يرسل الرياح بشرى بين يدى رحمته حتى إذآ أقلت سحابا ثقاﻻ سقنه لبلد ميت
And it is He Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy. Till when they have carried a heavy-laden cloud, We drive it to a land that is dead until:
كذلك نخرج الموتى لعلكم تذكرون
Similarly, We shall raise up the dead, so that you may remember or take heed. (7:57) Allah says here:
الله الذي يرسل الرياح فتثير سحابا فيبسطه في السماء كيف يشاء
ويجعله كسفا
Allah is He Who sends the winds, so that they raise clouds and spread them along the sky as He wills, and then break them into fragments, Mujahid, Abu Amr bin Al-Ala', Matar Al-Warraq and Qatadah said, "This means pieces.'' Others said that it means `piled up,' as Ad-Dahhak said. Others said that it means black, because they contained so much water, and sometimes they are heavy and close to the earth. His saying:
فترى الودق يخرج من خﻼله
until you see rain drops come forth from their midst! means, `so you see the drops, i.e., the rain, which come from the midst of those clouds.'
فٳذا أصاب به من يشاء من عباده إذا هم يستبشرون
Then when He has made them fall on whom of His servants as He wills, lo, they rejoice! They rejoice at the rain when it comes to them because of their need for it
وإن كانوا من قبل أن ينزل عليهم من قبله لمبلسين
