Ar-Rum 30:24

Word by word

وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَيُحْىِۦ بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason.

ومن دلائل قدرته سبحانه أن يريكم البرق، فتخافون من الصواعق، وتطمعون في الغيث، وينزل من السحاب مطرًا فيحيي به الأرض بعد جدبها وجفافها، إن في هذا لدليلا على كمال قدرة الله وعظيم حكمته وإحسانه لكل مَن لديه عقل يهتدي به.
