The Holy Quran 13:12 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ

Translation

He (Allaah) is the One Who shows you the lightning that you fear (when on a journey) and have hopes in (when you need rain), and He creates the heavy clouds. (Just as man hopes for Divine mercy, he should also be cautious about Allaah's wrath.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
