أَوْ كَصَيِّب ٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فِيه ِِ ظُلُمَات ٌ وَرَعْد ٌ وَبَرْق ٌ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ مِنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ وَاللَّهُ مُحِيط ٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ
'Aw Kaşayyibin Mina As-Samā'i Fīhi žulumātun Wa Ra`dun Wa Barqun Yaj`alūna 'Aşābi`ahum Fī 'Ādhānihim Mina Aş-Şawā`iqi Ĥadhara Al-Mawti Wa Allāhu Muĥīţun Bil-Kāfirīna
Or like a cloud from the sky, in it is darkness and thunder and lightning. They place their fingers in their ears from the lightning strikes out of fear of death; and God is aware of the rejecters.
2:20
يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ كُلَّمَا أَضَاءَ لَهُمْ مَشَوْا فِيه ِِ وَإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ قَدِير ٌ
Yakādu Al-Barqu Yakhţafu 'Abşārahum Kullamā 'AĐā'a Lahum Mashaw Fīhi Wa 'Idhā 'Ažlama `Alayhim Qāmū Wa Law Shā'a Allāhu Ladhahaba Bisam`ihim Wa 'Abşārihim 'Inna Allāha `Alá Kulli Shay'in Qadīrun
The lightning nearly snatches their sight, whenever it lights the path they walk in it, and when it becomes dark for them they stand. Had God willed, He would have taken their hearing and their sight; God is capable of all things.
13:12
هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفا ً وَطَمَعا ً وَيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ
Huwa Al-Ladhī Yurīkumu Al-Barqa Khawfāan Wa Ţama`āan Wa Yunshi'u As-Saĥāba Ath-Thiqāla
He is the One who shows you the lightning, giving you fear and hope. And He establishes the heavy clouds.
24:43
أَلَمْ تَرَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُزْجِي سَحَابا ً ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَه ُُ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُه ُُ رُكَاما ً فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلاَلِه ِِ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ جِبَال ٍ فِيهَا مِنْ بَرَد ٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِه ِِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَصْرِفُه ُُ عَنْ مَنْ يَشَاءُ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِه ِِ يَذْهَبُ بِالأَبْصَارِ
'Alam Tará 'Anna Allāha Yuzjī Saĥābāan Thumma Yu'uallifu Baynahu Thumma Yaj`aluhu Rukāmāan Fatará Al-Wadqa Yakhruju Min Khilālihi Wa Yunazzilu Mina As-Samā'i Min Jibālin Fīhā Min Baradin Fayuşību Bihi Man Yashā'u Wa Yaşrifuhu `An Man Yashā'u Yakādu Sanā Barqihi Yadh/habu Bil-'Abşāri
Do you not see that God drives the clouds, then He joins them together, then He makes them into a stack; so you see the soft rain coming out of them? And He sends down hail from the sky from mountains, so He strikes with it whoever He wills, and He diverts it from whoever He wills; the vivid flash of its lightning almost blinds the eyes.
30:24
وَمِنْ آيَاتِه ِِ يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفا ً وَطَمَعا ً وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً فَيُحْيِي بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَات ٍ لِقَوْم ٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
Wa Min 'Āyātihi Yurīkumu Al-Barqa Khawfāan Wa Ţama`āan Wa Yunazzilu Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Fayuĥyī Bihi Al-'ArĐa Ba`da Mawtihā 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyātin Liqawmin Ya`qilūna
And from His signs is that He shows you the lightning, giving you fear and hope, and He sends down water from the sky, and He revives the land with it after its death. In that are signs for a people who comprehend.
