قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

بادها؛ بارور کنندةٌ ابرها و گیاهان

امروزه در مباحث گیاه‌شناسی مسلّم شده که نر و مادگی در تمام گیاهان هستء و بادها هنگام وزش» ذراتی از گردةٌ گل گیاه نر را به گیاه ماده منتقل می‌کنند و آن را بارور می‌سازند. این آیه, از همین حقیقت پرده‌برداری می‌کند. البته برخی از مفسران بر آن‌اند که این یه مربوط به تلقیح ابرها از سوی بادهاست؛ بدین صورت که بادها قطعات ابر را به هم پیوند می‌دهند و بارور می‌سازند و بدین ترتیب» مقدمة نزول باران را فراهم می‌کنند.
