أَلَمْ
تَرَ
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
يُزْجِي
سَحَابًا
ثُمَّ
يُؤَلِّفُ
بَيْنَهُ
ثُمَّ
يَجْعَلُهُ
رُكَامًا
فَتَرَى
الْوَدْقَ
يَخْرُجُ
مِنْ
خِلَالِهِ
وَيُنَزِّلُ
مِنَ
السَّمَاءِ
مِن
جِبَالٍ
فِيهَا
مِن
بَرَدٍ
فَيُصِيبُ
بِهِ
مَن
يَشَاءُ
وَيَصْرِفُهُ
عَن
مَّن
يَشَاءُ
يَكَادُ
سَنَا
بَرْقِهِ
يَذْهَبُ
بِالْأَبْصَارِ

Seest thou not that Allah makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap? - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst. And He sends down from the sky mountain masses (of clouds) wherein is hail: He strikes therewith whom He pleases and He turns it away from whom He pleases, the vivid flash of His lightning well-nigh blinds the sight.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Have you not regarded that Allah drives the clouds, then He composes them, then He piles them up, whereat you see the rain issuing from its midst? And He sends down hail from the sky, out of the mountains that are in it, and He strikes with it whomever He wishes, and turns it away from whomever He wishes. The brilliance of its lightening almost takes away the sight.
