إِذِ الأَغْلاَلُ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَالسَّلاَسِلُ يُسْحَبُونَ
'Idhi Al-'Aghlālu Fī 'A`nāqihim Wa As-Salāsilu Yusĥabūna
When the shackles will be around their necks and in chains they will be dragged off.
54:48
يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ
Yawma Yusĥabūna Fī An-Nāri `Alá Wujūhihim Dhūqū Massa Saqara
The Day when they will be dragged upon their faces into the Fire: Taste the agony of the scorching heat!

إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلاَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِي تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ مَاء ٍ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَابَّة ٍ وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ وَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ لَآيَات ٍ لِقَوْم ٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
'Inna Fī Khalqi As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'ArĐi Wa Akhtilāfi Al-Layli Wa An-Nahāri Wa Al-Fulki Allatī Tajrī Fī Al-Baĥri Bimā Yanfa`u An-Nāsa Wa Mā 'Anzala Allāhu Mina As-Samā'i Min Mā'in Fa'aĥyā Bihi Al-'ArĐa Ba`da Mawtihā Wa Baththa Fīhā Min Kulli Dābbatin Wa Taşrīfi Ar-Riyāĥi Wa As-Saĥābi Al-Musakhkhari Bayna As-Samā'i Wa Al-'ArĐi La'āyātin Liqawmin Ya`qilūna
Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the differences between the night and the day, and the ships that sail in the sea for the benefit of the people, and what God has sent down of water from the sky so He brings the earth back to life after it had died, and He sent forth from it every creature, and the dispatching of the winds and the clouds that have been designated between the earth and the sky are signs for a people who comprehend.
7:57
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرا ً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِه ِِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابا ً ثِقَالا ً سُقْنَاه ُُ لِبَلَد ٍ مَيِّت ٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِه ِِ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ كَذَلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَى لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Yursilu Ar-Riyāĥa Bushrāan Bayna Yaday Raĥmatihi Ĥattá 'Idhā 'Aqallat Saĥābāan Thiqālāan Suqnāhu Libaladin Mayyitin Fa'anzalnā Bihi Al-Mā'a Fa'akhrajnā Bihi Min Kulli Ath-Thamarāti Kadhālika Nukhriju Al-Mawtá La`allakum Tadhakkarūna
He is the One who sends the winds to be dispersed between His hands of mercy; so when it carries a heavy cloud, We drive it to a dead land, and We send down the water with it and We bring forth fruits of all kind. It is thus that We will bring out the dead, perhaps you will remember.
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.
24:40
أَوْ كَظُلُمَات ٍ فِي بَحْر ٍ لُجِّيّ ٍ يَغْشَاه ُُ مَوْج ٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه ِِ مَوْج ٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه ِِ سَحَاب ٌ ظُلُمَات ٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْض ٍ إِذَا أَخْرَجَ يَدَه ُُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَاهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَه ُُ نُورا ً فَمَا لَه ُُ مِنْ نُور ٍ
'Aw Kažulumātin Fī Baĥrin Lujjīyin Yaghshāhu Mawjun Min Fawqihi Mawjun Min Fawqihi Saĥābun žulumātun Ba`Đuhā Fawqa Ba`Đin 'Idhā 'Akhraja Yadahu Lam Yakad Yarāhā Wa Man Lam Yaj`ali Allāhu Lahu Nūrāan Famā Lahu Min Nūrin
Or like the darkness out in a deep ocean in the midst of violent waves, with waves upon waves and dark clouds. Darkness upon darkness, if he brings out his own hand, he could barely see it. And for whoever God does not make a light, he will have no light.
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.
27:88
وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَة ً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْء ٍ إِنَّه ُُ خَبِير ٌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Wa Tará Al-Jibāla Taĥsabuhā Jāmidatan Wa Hiya Tamurru Marra As-Saĥābi Şun`a Allāhi Al-Ladhī 'Atqana Kulla Shay'in 'Innahu Khabīrun Bimā Taf`alūna
And you see the mountains, you think they are solid, while they are passing by like the clouds. The making of God who perfected everything. He is Expert over what you do.
30:48
اللَّهُ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابا ً فَيَبْسُطُه ُُ فِي السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ وَيَجْعَلُه ُُ كِسَفا ً فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلاَلِه ِِ فَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِه ِِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ~ِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
Allāhu Al-Ladhī Yursilu Ar-Riyāĥa Fatuthīru Saĥābāan Fayabsuţuhu Fī As-Samā'i Kayfa Yashā'u Wa Yaj`aluhu Kisafāan Fatará Al-Wadqa Yakhruju Min Khilālihi Fa'idhā 'Aşāba Bihi Man Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi 'Idhā Hum Yastabshirūna
God Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and He spreads them in the sky as He wishes, then He turns them into joined pieces, then you see the rain drops come forth from their midst. Then when He makes them fall on whoever He wills of His servants, they rejoice!
35:9
وَاللَّهُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابا ً فَسُقْنَاهُ~ُ إِلَى بَلَد ٍ مَيِّت ٍ فَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا كَذَلِكَ النُّشُورُ
Wa Allāhu Al-Ladhī 'Arsala Ar-Riyāĥa Fatuthīru Saĥābāan Fasuqnāhu 'Ilá Baladin Mayyitin Fa'aĥyaynā Bihi Al-'ArĐa Ba`da Mawtihā Kadhālika An-Nushūru
And God is the One who sends the winds so it stirs up a cloud, then We drive it to a land that is dead, and We revive with it the earth after it had died. Such is the resurrection.
52:44
وَإِنْ يَرَوْا كِسْفا ً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ سَاقِطا ً يَقُولُوا سَحَاب ٌ مَرْكُوم ٌ
Wa 'In Yaraw Kisfāan Mina As-Samā'i Sāqiţāan Yaqūlū Saĥābun Markūmun
And if they see a spectacle from the heaven, they will say: Piled clouds!
