Surah An-Nur (The Light), verse 43 of 64 · Juz 18

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزْجِى سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُۥ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَـٰلِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِنۢ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُۥ عَن مَّن يَشَآءُ ۖ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِۦ يَذْهَبُ بِٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ

Translations of Quran 24:43
EnglishTalal Itani

Have you not seen how Allah propels the clouds, then brings them together, then piles them into a heap, and you see raindrops emerging from its midst? How He brings down loads of hail from the sky, striking with it whomever He wills, and diverting it from whomever He wills? The flash of its lightning almost snatches the sight away.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail, and smiteth therewith whom He will, and averteth it from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning all but snatcheth away the sight.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Baksan â şu hakıykate: Allah, bir bulut sevk ediyor sonra onun açıklığını te'lif eyliyor, sonra onu teraküm ettiriyor da yağmuru görüyorsun hılâlından çıkıyor, bir de o Semadan, ondaki dağlardan bir tolu indiriyor da dilediğini onunla musab kılıyor ve dilediğinden onu bertaraf ediyor, Şimşeğinin parıltısı hemen hemen gözleri alıverecek

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

N’as-tu pas considéré comment Dieu pousse légèrement les nuages, comme il les réunit et les entasse par monceaux ; puis tu vois sortir de leur sein une pluie abondante ; on dirait qu’il fait descendre du ciel des montagnes grosses de grêle, dont il atteint ceux qu’il veut, et qu’il détourne de ceux qu’il veut. Peu s’en faut que l’éclat de la foudre n’enlève la vue aux hommes,.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Ziet gij niet dat God de wolken spelend voortdrijft, die verzamelt en daarna ophoopt? Gij ziet ook den regen die uit haar midden valt: men zou zeggen dat hij groote bergen van hagel uit den hemel doet nederdalen, waarmede hij bereikt wien hij wil en welke hij afwendt van wien hij wil. De glans zijns bliksems behoeft slechts weinig om het gezicht te benemen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non hai tu considerato come Dio spinge leggermente le nubi, come le riunisce, e le amassa? Quindi vedi sortire dal lor seno una pioggia abbondante; si direbbe che fa scendere dal cielo montagne pregne di grandine di cui colpisce chi vuole, e risparmia egualmente chi vuole. Poco manca che il lampo del fulmine non tolga la vista agli uomini.
