(And of His signs) and of the signs of His divine Oneness and power (is this: He sendeth herald winds) that the rain is being created (to make you taste His mercy) His bounty, (and that the ships may sail at His command) by His will in the sea, (and that ye may seek His favour) that by sailing in your ships you seek His provision, (and that haply ye may be thankful) for His bounty.
