Ar-Ra'd 13:13 ويسبح الرعد بحمده والملايكة من خيفته ويرسل الصواعق فيصيب بها من يشاء وهم يجادلون في الله وهو شديد المحال ١٣

13:13
وَيُسَبِّحُ
ٱلرَّعۡدُ
بِحَمۡدِهِۦ
وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ
مِنۡ
خِيفَتِهِۦ
وَيُرۡسِلُ
ٱلصَّوَٰعِقَ
فَيُصِيبُ
بِهَا
مَن
يَشَآءُ
وَهُمۡ
يُجَٰدِلُونَ
فِي
ٱللَّهِ
وَهُوَ
شَدِيدُ
ٱلۡمِحَالِ

the thunder sounds His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him; He sends thunderbolts to strike whoever He will. Yet still they dispute about God- He has mighty plans.

Read in Context

Chapter 13, Page 250, Juz 13

8. God knows what every female bears and how much their wombs shrink or swell- everything has its measure with Him; 9. He knows what is not seen as well as what is seen; He is the Great, the Most High. 10. It makes no difference whether any of you speak secretly or aloud, whether you are hiding under cover of night or walking about in the day: 11. each person has guardian angels before him and behind, watching over him by God’s command. God does not change the condition of a people [for the worse] unless they change what is in themselves, but if He wills harm on a people, no one can ward it off–– apart from Him, they have no protector. 12. It is He who shows you the lightning, inspiring fear and hope; He builds up the clouds heavy with rain; 13. the thunder sounds His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him; He sends thunderbolts to strike whoever He will. Yet still they dispute about God- He has mighty plans. 14. The only true prayer is to Him: those they pray to besides Him give them no answer any more than water reaches the mouth of someone who simply stretches out his hands for it- it cannot do so: the prayers of the disbelievers are all in vain. 15. All that are in heaven and earth submit to God alone, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the mornings and in the evenings.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
