Translation
Under order of Solomon, We gave stormy winds. With his order, it was blowing towards places in which We had created blessings. And We possess knowledge about everything.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) also gave the winds to the command of Solomon. Hadrat Solomon and his entourage used to travel a month's journey in these winds, according to the narrations, in a normal walk.
When a strong wind exceeds the specific gravity of objects, it has the power to push and lift them. Allah (swt) makes people experience and explain His omnipotence through miracles. Allah is omnipotent with His knowledge. His intention in narrating these things is to inform people that there is no other god but Allah and that they should return to Allah who created them.
What is said in the video
We have come to verse 81 of Surah Al-Anbiya.
And to Solomon's command We gave the wind blowing like a hurricane. By his command it would blow toward the land in which We created blessings. We know everything. One day, spiritually, I too saw how Solomon's winds went.
Just as I am sitting in this armchair, just as I sit, he sits, exactly like this he sits. The wind beneath him, the layer of air, lifts him. Just as it lifts a plane or a bird, that wind blowing at such speed, with its layer of air forming a cushion beneath him, to wherever he wishes it goes. By day he would travel a road of a month's journey going and a month's journey returning.
Allah Almighty also placed the winds under Solomon's command. With Solomon's entourage, within these winds, according to the narrations, they would go and come back on a road that at a normal walking pace is a month's journey. When a strongly blowing wind exceeds the specific weight of bodies, it attains the power to push and lift those bodies. Allah Almighty, by showing miracles, His being powerful over everything, both lets people live it and explains it to them. Allah, with His knowledge, is powerful over everything. His purpose in telling these things is that, by making known that there is no other god besides Allah, people return to Allah, who created them.
