“And in the earth are neighbouring tracts, and gardens of grapes, and
green crops, and date-palms, growing into two or three from a single
stem, or otherwise, watered with the same water; yet some of them We
make more excellent than others to eat. Verily, in these things there
are signs for the people who understand.â€
(Ar-Ra‘d (The Thunder): 4)
By: Dr. / Zaghloul El-Naggar
This noble verse comes at the beginning of Surat Ar-Ra‘d (The
Thunder), a chapter revealed in Makkah comprised of 43 verses after
the basmallah (In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most
Compassionate). The reason for its name is the reference to thunder
(a recurring meteorological phenomenon) as a way to glorify and praise
Allah as Allah the Almighty says in Surat Al-Isrâ’, what can be
translated as, “The seven heavens and the earth and all that is
therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His
Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever
Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.â€
