It is Allah who sends forth the Winds

“It is Allah who sends forth the Winds so that they raise up the Clouds, 3881

And We drive them to a Land that is dead, and revive the earth therewith after its death: Even so (will be) the Resurrection!

surah 35:9 Fatir (The Originator of Creation)

"3881. The allegory here is double. (1) Dry, unpromising soil may seem, to all intents and purposes, dead; there is no source of water near; moisture is sucked up by the sun’s heat in a far-off ocean, and clouds are formed; winds arise; it seems as if the wind "bloweth as it liseth," but it is really Allah’s Providence that drives it to the dead land; the rain falls, and behold! There is life and motion and beauty everywhere! So in the spiritual world Allah’s Revelation is His Mercy and His Rain; there may be the individual resurrection (Nushur) or unfolding of the soul. (2) So again, may be the general Resurrection (Nushur), the unfolding of a New World in the Hereafter, out of an old World that is folded up and dead."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’an, Amana Corporation, 1989 ”
