(24:42) And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah is the destination. (24:43) Do you not see that Allah drives clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight. (24:44) Allah alternates the night and the day. Indeed in that is a lesson for those who have vision. (24:45) Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. (24:46) We have certainly sent down distinct verses. And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path. (24:47) But the hypocrites say, "We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey"; then a party of them turns away after that. And those are not believers. (24:48) And when they are called to [the words of] Allah and His Messenger to judge between them, at once a party of them turns aside [in refusal].
