Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ(And among His signs) which speak of His greatness,يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً(He shows you the lightning, for fear and for hope,) Sometimes you fear the heavy rain and destructive thunderbolts that follow it, and sometimes you feel hope, when you see a flash of lightning, that much-needed rain will come.
