Among His Signs is that He sends the winds bearing good news, to
give you a taste of His mercy, and to make the ships run by His com-

provide for you. So seek your provision from God and worship
Him and give thanks to Him. It is to Him you will be returned.’
(Surat al-Anqabut, 17)
But part of His mercy is that He has made both night and day for
you so that you can have your rest and seek His bounty, and so

that hopefully you will be thankful. (Surat al-Qasas, 73)

fresh flesh from it and bring out from it ornaments to wear. And

ty, and so that hopefully you will show thanks. (Surat an-Nahl, 14)
We taught him (Dawud) the art of making garments for you to
protect you against each others’ violence, but do you show any
thanks? (Surat al-Anbiya’, 80)
