﴿ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴾
( In the Name of Allaah i.e God , The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
﴿ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيڪُمُ ٱلۡبَرۡقَ خَوۡفً۬ا وَطَمَعً۬ا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ • وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعۡدُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ مِنۡ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرۡسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٲعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِہَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمۡ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِى ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡمِحَالِ ﴾
(12. It is He Who shows you the lightning, as a fear and as a hope. And it is He Who brings up the clouds, heavy (with water).) (13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His awe. He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allaah i.e,God , And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.) Clouds, Thunder and Lightning are Signs of Allaah's i.e God's , Power
Allaah i.e God , states that He has full power over Al-Barq (lightning), which is the bright light that originates from within clouds. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn `Abbas once wrote to Abu Al-Jald asking about the meaning of Al-Barq, and he said that it is water. Qatadah commented on Allaah's i.e God's statement,
﴿ خَوۡفً۬ا وَطَمَعً۬ا ﴾
(as a fear and as a hope.) "Fear for travelers, for they feel afraid of its harm and hardship, and hope for residents, awaiting its blessing and benefit and anticipating Allaah's i.e God's , provisions.'' Allaah i.e God said next,
﴿ وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ ﴾
(And it is He Who brings up the clouds, heavy.) meaning, He originates the clouds that are heavy and close to the ground because of being laden with rain. Mujahid said that this part of the Ayah is about clouds that are heavy with rain. Allaah's i.e God's , statement,
﴿ وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعۡدُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ ﴾
(And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him), is similar to His other statement,
﴿ وَإِن مِّن شَىۡءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ ﴾
(And there is not a thing but glorifies His praise.) )17:44( Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibrahim bin Sa`d said, "My father told me that he was sitting next to Hamid bin `Abdur Rahman in the Masjid. A man from the tribe of Ghifar passed and Hamid sent someone to him to please come to them. When he came, Hamid said to me, `My nephew! Make space for him between me and you, for he had accompanied Allaah's i.e God's , Messenger , (peace and blessings of Allaah i.e God , be upon him ) .' When that man came, he sat between me and Hamid and Hamid said to him, `What was the Hadith that you narrated to me from the Messenger of Allaah i.e God , ' He said, `A man from Ghifar said that he heard the Prophet , (peace and blessings of Allaah i.e God , be upon him ) , say,
« إِنَّ اللهَ يُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ فَيَنْطِقُ أَحْسَنَ النُّطْقِ، وَيَضْحَكُ أَحْسَنَ الضَّحِك »
(Verily, Allaah i.e God , originates the clouds, and they speak in the most beautiful voice and laugh in the most beautiful manner.) It appears, and Allaah i.e God , has the best knowledge, that the cloud's voice is in reference to thunder and its laughter is the lightning. Musa bin `Ubaydah narrated that Sa`d bin Ibrahim said, "Allaah i.e God , sends the rain and indeed, none has a better smile than it, nor more comforting voice. Its smile is lightning and its voice is thunder.''
The Supplication When One Hears Thunder -
سُبْحانَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ، وَالمَلائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيْفَتِهِ
Glorified be One and free is He from all imperfection, Whom the thunder glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His Awe]”.Quraan Tafseer Ibn Katheer [Surah 12 - Ar-Ra’d , (“Thunder” ), Ayah 13]
