Verses 1–9 of 9
Behold! In the creation Of the heavens and the earth; In the alternation Of the Night and the Day; In the sailing of the ships Through the Ocean For the profit of mankind; In the rain which God Sends down from the skies, And the life which He gives therewith To an earth that is dead; In the beasts of all kinds That He scatters Through the earth; In the change of the winds, And the clouds which they Trail like their slaves Between the sky and the earth;— (Here) indeed are Signs For a people that are wise.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:164It is He Who sendeth The Winds like heralds Of glad tidings, going before His Mercy: when they have Carried the heavy-laden Clouds, We drive them To a land that is dead, Make rain to descend thereon, And produce every kind Of harvest therewith: thus Shall We raise up the dead: Perchance ye may remember.
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:57It is He Who doth show you The lightning, by way Both of fear and of hope: It is He Who doth raise up The clouds, heavy With (fertilising) rain!
Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 13:12Or (the Unbelievers’ state) Is like the depths of darkness In a vast deep ocean, Overwhelmed with billow Topped by billow, Topped by (dark) clouds: Depths of darkness, one Above another: if a man Stretches out his hand, He can hardly see it! For any to whom God Giveth not light, There is no light!
Surah An-Nur, verse 24:40Seest 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 24:43Thou seest the mountains And thinkest them firmly fixed: But they shall pass away As the clouds pass away: (Such is) the artistry of God, Who disposes of all things In perfect order: for He is Well acquainted with all that ye do.
Surah An-Naml, verse 27:88It is God Who sends The Winds, and they raise The Clouds: then does He Spread them in the sky As He wills, and break them Into fragments, until thou seest Rain-drops issue from the midst Thereof: then when He has Made them reach such His servants as He wills, Behold, they do rejoice!—
Surah Ar-Rum, verse 30:48It is God Who sends Forth the Winds, so that They raise up the Clouds, And We drive them To a land that is dead, And revive the earth therewith After its death: even so (Will be) the Resurrection!
Surah Fatir, verse 35:9Were they to see A piece of the sky Falling (on them), they Would (only) say: "Clouds Gathered in heaps!"
Surah At-Tur, verse 52:44
