Sura Ar-Ra'd (Arabic: سورة الرعد, Sūratu ar-Ra'd, "The Thunder") is the 13th sura of the Qur'an with 43 ayat. It is a Madinan sura.

هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ

13:12 He is the One Who keeps visually showing to you people the lightening, causing a state of fear and generating hope of profitability. [release of atmospheric nitrogen brought down by rain-sustenance 45:05]. And He gradually and successively raises the [middle] drifting/trailing heavy laden clouds. [13:12]

The information is that the effect of lightening, in addition to causing mind to perceive threat, also generates a ray of hope of profitability. The statement was a fact for those who listened or read the Qur'aan hundreds of years back and is a fact when we read it today after having known effect of lightening in the atmosphere which causes descending of "sustenance and food" for the "demised Earth-lost the salient feature of life-production". Grand Qur'aan informs: and that from sustenance/food which Allah has descended from the Sky thereby He rejuvenated the Earth, after its "demise", with this sustenance/food ; [Refer 45:05] [For detailed study please refer 1-Surat Fateh "Word by Word Analysis"]
