Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: Can Solomon control the wind?

Can Solomon control the wind?

38:36 Then We subjected to him the wind to flow gently by his command, wherever he directed,

(God subjected to him the wind. God is All-Powerful over all things (57:2); and God created everything while everything was nothing before (19:9), so God can subject what He created)(Allah knows best)

57:2 To Him (is the) dominion of the heavens and the earth, He gives life and causes death, and He is All-Powerful over all things.

34:12 And to Solomon, the wind - its morning course was that of a month and its afternoon course was that of a month, and We caused to flow a spring of molten copper for him. And among the jinn were those who worked for him by the permission of his Lord. And whoever deviated among them from Our Command, We will make him taste the punishment of the Blaze.

(According to Verse 34:12, Jinns obeyed Solomon, by God’s permission/command; so, everything is impossible, unless God permits it or makes it possible)(Allah knows best)

27:15 And verily, We gave David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise be to Allah the One Who has favored us over many of His believing servants." 27:16 And Solomon inherited David. And he said, "O people! We have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from everything. Indeed, this is surely an evident favor." 27:17 And were gathered for Solomon his hosts of jinn and men and birds, and they were set in rows. 27:18 Until, when they came to the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings so that Solomon and his hosts (may) not crush you while they do not perceive." 27:19 So he smiled, laughing at her speech, and said, "My Lord, grant me the power that I may thank You for Your Favor, which You have bestowed on me and on my parents and that I may do righteous (deeds), that will please You. And admit me by Your Mercy into Your righteous slaves."

(God favored Solomon, over other people, at that time. It is not a common event, but God is Able to do that, and God does what He wills (3:40))(The disbelievers wonder about the story of Solomon, because Solomon is a human, and it was an uncommon event, but God is All-Powerful over all “things” (57:2); and God created everything while everything was nothing before. So, everything is impossible, unless God permits it (34:12), whether the disbelievers find a certain event common or uncommon)(Controlling the wind could be as surprising as a human speaking with his mouth because a human was nothing before, and a human is made of lifeless water and dust, and God gave him life and made him speak, so the disbelievers wonder about the story of Solomon, but they may not wonder about the Signs in creation)(Allah knows best)

6:53 And thus We try some of them with others that they say, "Are these (whom) Allah has favored among us?" Is not Allah most knowing of those who are grateful?

14:11 Their Messengers said to them, "We are not but human like you, but Allah bestows His Grace on whom He wills of His slaves. And it is not for us that we bring you an authority except by the permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers put their trust.

19:9 He said, "Thus, your Lord said, 'It is easy for Me, and certainly I have created you before, while you were nothing.'"

(The One Who created everything is Able to make a human direct the wind)(God created everything while everything was nothing before (19:9))(Other messengers came with evidences, to be obeyed)(Allah knows best)

3:189 And to Allah (is the) dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is All-Powerful over everything.

13:38 And certainly, We sent Messengers before you and We made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to come with a sign except by the leave of Allah. For everything is a time prescribed.

12:111 Verily, in their stories is a lesson for men of understanding. It is not an invented narration, but a confirmation of that which was before it and a detailed explanation of all things, and a guidance and mercy for a people who believe.

3:44 That is from the news of the unseen - We reveal it to you. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them takes charge of Mary; nor were you with them when they were disputing.

(Those who do not believe in that story, they were not with Solomon, nor do they know the unseen, so they speculate about events they don’t know about. The Qur’an is an evidence that the stories are true. See the links below “The Qur’an and Mathematics” and “Is the Qur'an scientifically correct?”)(Allah knows best)

25:5 And they say, "Tales of the former people which he has had written down, and they are dictated to him morning and evening." 25:6 Say, "He has sent it down, the One Who knows the secret in the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

18:13 We narrate to you their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.

6:37 And they said, "Why (is) not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Indeed, Allah (is) Able to send down a Sign, but most of them (do) not know."

35:41 Indeed, Allah upholds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one can uphold them after Him. Indeed, He is Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.

(The natural laws were created/chosen out of nothing. They were chosen to be that way. And they are impossible without a Creator, and unless God makes it happen, because it was nothing before. God upholds the heavens and the earth (35:41) the way they are, so God is Able to subject to Solomon the wind)(Disbelievers might attribute the natural laws and the creation to nature, chaos or time, so the disbelieves are the ones who believe in fairytales)(Allah knows best)

28:68 And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses. They do not have the choice. Glory be to Allah and High is He above what they associate.
