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 hymneth His praise and (so do) the angels for awe of Him. He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will while they dispute (in doubt) concerning Allah, and He is mighty in wrath.

Chapter 13, Page 250, Juz 13

8. Allah knoweth that which every female beareth and that which the wombs absorb and that which they grow. And everything with Him is measured. 9. He is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Great, the High Exalted. 10. Alike of you is he who hideth the saying and he who noiseth it abroad, he who lurketh in the night and he who goeth freely in the daytime. 11. For him are angels ranged before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command. Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts; and if Allah willeth misfortune for a folk there is none that can repel it, nor have they a defender beside Him. 12. He it is Who showeth you the lightning, a fear and a hope, and raiseth the heavy clouds. 13. The thunder hymneth His praise and (so do) the angels for awe of Him. He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will while they dispute (in doubt) concerning Allah, and He is mighty in wrath. 14. Unto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside Allah respond to them not at all, save as (is the response to) one who stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his mouth, and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray. 15. And unto Allah falleth prostrate whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, as do their shadows in the morning and the evening hours.
