READ, becasue reading is fun2themental;
It could be argued that the Wind has intelligence because often it is spoken of as taking direction, or heeding a command. No formal scientific study has been undertaken to prove/disprove this so we must rely on what is available in the literature:
Quran 6:36 ..."Only they who listen can respond to a call..."
Quran 38:36 (Asad) ..." We made subservient to him (Solomon) the wind, so that it gently sped at his behest whithersoever he willed.."
42:33 (Asad) ..."if He(God) so wills, He stills the wind..."
Surah 51 is all about the Winds; and if the Wind itself is not intelligent then it can be argued that it is guided by some sort of intelligence.
On a lighter note, I wonder how this might apply to breaking wind?
