Quran /13- AR-R`AD The Thunder Revealed at Madînah /   Introduction         The sûrah takes its name from thunder, which, we are told, extols Allâh. The sûrah begins by showing the high status of the Qur’ân and by declaring that it is revealed by Allâh. Then it shows Allâh’s supremacy over the universe and draws attention to its marvelous creation. The sûrah then moves from the absolute power of Allâh Almighty over creation to that of His power over re-creation and resurrection. Allâh has knowledge of everything, and His power to afflict punishment in this world is a token of the punishment in the Hereafter. Then the sûrah calls attention to the striking miracles in the universe. Allâh shows the attitude of people toward receiving the Qur’ânic guidance: the characteristics of believers and the lack of morals of the disbelievers and their adamancy in demanding miracles. The sûrah also shows how badly they mocked at their messenger and informs the Prophet that messengers before him were also mocked. But Allâh Almighty has supremacy over all things and all creatures, and He will requite all as they deserve. He further tells us that the Qur’ân is the supreme miracle that will continue to exist until the Day of Resurrection; that it is Allâh Almighty Who provides His messengers with miracles if He wills; and that if the disbelievers deny the Prophet’s mission, Allâh bears witness to its truth—a testimony that is enough for him. In the Name of Allâh, The All-Merciful, The Ever-Merciful
