Quran 38 Verse 36 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Sad ayat 36, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(38:36) We subjected the wind to him, so that it blew gently at his bidding, wherever he directed it,[37]
37. For explanation, see (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 81) note 74 thereof. However, there is one thing which requires further explanation here. In Surah Al-Anbiya where mention has been made of subjecting the wind for the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him), it has been described as the strongly blowing wind, but here “it blew by his command gently wherever he intended”. This means that the wind in itself was strong and violent as is needed for moving the sailing-ships but it had been made gentle for the Prophet Solomon in the sense that it blew whither-soever he wanted it to blow for his commercial fleets.
Ibn-Kathir
