وَیُسَبِّحُ الرَّعۡدُ بِحَمۡدِہٖ وَالۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃُ مِنۡ خِیۡفَتِہٖ وَیُرۡسِلُ الصَّوٰعِقَ فَیُصِیۡبُ بِہَا مَنۡ یَّشَآءُ وَہُمۡ یُجٰدِلُوۡنَ فِی اللّٰہِ وَہُوَ شَدِیۡدُ الۡمِحَالِ
مفسرین کہتے ہیں کہ رَعدؔ ایک فرشتہ کا نام ہے لیکن یہ غلط ہے۔ خود بجلی بھی زبان حال سے خداتعالیٰ کی تسبیح اور حمد کرتی ہے پس خواہ مخواہ فرشتوں کو بیچ میں گھسیٹنے کی ضرورت نہ تھی۔
16:51; 42:6.
24:44.
Important Words:
محال (punishment) is derived from ماحل which is again derived from محل. They say محل البلد i.e. the town had no rain and became affected with drought and dearth. ماحله means, he devised a plan or hatched a plot against him; he showed enmity towards him, the other doing the same in return. محال means, plan or device; power or might; quarrel or disputation; enmity; punishment or torment; severity; destruction (Aqrab).
Commentary:
Disbelievers are here told that they should give up hugging the fond hope that the present afflictions and trials of Muslims (hinted at in the words "thunders" and "thunderbolts") would bring about the latter’s ruin. Not all lightning is destructive nor are all clouds the source of unmixed good. Their afflictions cannot bring about the ruin of believers. On the contrary, they will bring about their moral and spiritual advancement, for they bring into play their hidden faculties and bring them nearer to God. Thunder and lightning are after all the creation of God and are meant to glorify Him. They cannot therefore, cause the destruction of God’s faithful servants, whom He has promised to protect, for that would be against His glory-fication. So existing thunders and the dark clouds of temporary miseries and tribulations only contribute to the progress and prosperity of the Faithful.
The verse further points out that thunder and clouds are under the control of God’s angels, who are the first cause, and have been created to serve and advance the cause of God’s Messengers. Why then, should the believers fear the thunder and clouds of adversity that are now bursting upon them? They would only destroy those who seek to frustrate the purpose of God. The words, they dispute concerning Allah, are intended to point out that it is no law of nature that is being discussed here but a prophecy of punishment for disbelievers.
The words شدید المحال (severe in punishing) may also be rendered as "strong in planning" thus hinting that God is not only severe in punishing but it is also impossible to frustrate His plans.

ضَرَبَ لَکُمۡ مَّثَلًا مِّنۡ اَنۡفُسِکُمۡ ۖ ہَل لَّکُمۡ مِّنۡ مَّا مَلَکَتۡ اَیۡمٰنُکُمۡ مِّنۡ شُرَکَآءَ فِیۡ مَا رَزَقۡنٰکُمۡ فَاَنۡتُمۡ فِیۡہِ سَوَآءٌ تَخَافُوۡنَہُمۡ کَخِیۡفَتِکُمۡ اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ ۚ کَذٰلِکَ نُفَصِّلُ الۡاٰیٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ یَّعۡقِلُوۡنَ
یعنی جس طرح اُن کو مال سپرد کرنے سے پہلے تم اپنے مال کے مالک تھے اور جتنا چاہتے تھے اپنی جان پر خرچ کر سکتے تھے۔ کیا تم اپنے غلاموں کو مال پر اتنا قبضہ بھی دیا کرتے ہو کہ پھر تم ڈرنے لگو کہ معلوم نہیں یہ ہمیں کچھ کھانے کو بھی دیں گے یا نہیں اور تمہارے قبضہ کی کوئی علامت باقی نہ رہتی ہو۔
The verse purports to say that when a master and a slave are not equal though they are both human beings, and when the master would not share his wealth and property with his slave, how then could God, the sole Creator and Controller of all things, be regarded as sharing the control of the universe with anybody?
Commentary:
This verse contains a very effective argument against polytheism. It purports to say that when a master and slave are not equal though they are both human beings, and when the master would not share his wealth and property with his slave, how then could God, the sole Creator and Controller of all things, be equal to idols of wood and stone and how could He be regarded as sharing the control of the universe with anybody. See also 21:23.
