The Aya says:
Verily, in the making of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the day and night, and the ships that flow in the sea with what benefits people, and what GOD made arrive of water from the sky, therefore brought life to the land after it’s death, and the spreading and dispersing in it of every being that moves (on earth), and the movement of the wind, and the clouds that were made to serve between the heaven and the earth, are signs to people that knot knowledge.
