  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Seest thou not that God 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.

    Surah An-Nur, verse 24:43
