The Holy Quran 30:24 — Surah Ar-Rum

Arabic text

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

Translation

Also among His Aayaat is that He shows you lightning which kindles fear (of being struck) and (much) hope (of rainfall). He sends rain from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death. There are certainly Aayaat in this for people who understand (think).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Signs in the flash of lightning and in the rain: on seeing the flash of lightning, people fear that it may strike someone, or that too much rain may fall, so that lives and property are destroyed. And they also hope that rain will come so that the business of the world may go on.
