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
{Then He spreads it} at times, continuously, {and makes it into fragments}—that is, into pieces—at other times. {So you see the rain emerging from within it} in both instances.
The intended meaning of "the sky" is the direction of the sky and its opening, similar to His saying: {And its root is in the sky} (Ibrahim: 24).
The "afflicting of the servants" refers to the afflicting of their lands and territories.
{From before it} is a case of repetition and emphasis, similar to His saying: {So the outcome for both of them is that they will be in the Fire, abiding eternally therein} (Al-Hashr: 17).
The significance of the emphasis here is to indicate that their period without rain had become long and distant, causing their despair to intensify and their hopelessness to persist; thus, their rejoicing was in proportion to the distress they had felt regarding that.
{So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah—how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same One] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.}
