I felt I needed to elaborate on the word Musakhar that appeared on the Ayah describing the state of the clouds.
The word on its own is miraculous to be used in this position.
See the act of taskheer is precisely to force someone to work on a certain job, allocating a certain position for doing so without paying a wage in return.
Now Allah using this to describe the state of the clouds in the Quran is very influencial. Simply, it conveys the sense that clouds are there by Allah's order, hanging in this position or the other by Allah's order, they are there to serve to work, for they are responsible to send down rain, of course they do their work without being paid, so they are Mussakhar in the physical meaning of the word.
Sobhan Allah. Again Allah preceeded the word clouds with the word wind. We indicated that the wind is responsible for the movement of the clouds, but also only when the clouds are hit by cold wind that they send down rain. Who can just look into such signs and ponder. Only those who have brains. Sobhan Allah.
How can the Messenger (PAPBUH) 1400 years ago talk about such scientific facts? How can anyone who uses his brain ignore these signs.
