Commentary 7:56 Metaphorically “Sending of winds as a good tiding heralding His mercy” (يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ) is a reference to the advent of prophethood, “Rain” is Divine…
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
7:56 Metaphorically “Sending of winds as a good tiding heralding His mercy” (يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ) is a reference to the advent of prophethood, “Rain” is Divine revelation and “bringing forth of fruit” refers to those pious people who follow the Prophets, whereas the “dead” are those who are spiritually ignorant.
