The Holy Quran 27:63 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَمَن يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦٓ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ تَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Translation

Or (is) the Being Who guides you (to your destinations) in the darkness of the land and sea (by creating landmarks, the heavenly bodies and teaching you the skill of navigation. Is He not better than the gods of the Mushrikeen) ? And (is He) Who sends the winds as a carrier of good news (foretelling approaching rains) before His mercy (rain. Is He not better than the gods of the Mushrikeen) ? Is there another Ilaah with Allaah? Allaah is Exalted high above what (gods) they ascribe (as His partners). (There can therefore not be anyone who deserves to be worshipped with Allaah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, in the darkness of land and sea He guides you by means of the stars, either directly or through instruments such as the compass. that is, before the rain of mercy He sends winds that bring the glad tidings of the coming of rain.
