Surah Ar-Ra'd — The Thunder

Reflects on thunder as a sign of God's power, and on the patience required of those who believe.

اللَّهُ الَّذى رَفَعَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَيرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَونَها ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجرى لِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ يُفَصِّلُ الءايٰتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقاءِ رَبِّكُم توقِنونَ
