13. Surah Ar-Ra'd (الرعد)
Revelation: Makki (revealed at Makkah) · Ayahs: 43
Introduction — from Tafheem-ul-Quran
From the last stage of the Makkan period. Its theme is that the message of Muhammad ﷺ is the truth, though people demand miracles instead of reflecting on the signs already spread through the heavens and the earth — thunder itself glorifies Allah, and 'in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.'
Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
