• 2:164 · Al-Baqarahوَٱلسَّحَابِ and the cloudsIndeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.
• 7:57 · Al-A'rafسَحَابًۭا clouds And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits.

• 24:40 · An-Nurسَحَابٌۭ ۚ a cloudOr [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others.

The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight.
• 27:88 · An-Namlٱلسَّحَابِ ۚ (of) the cloudsAnd you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do.
• 30:48 · Ar-Rumسَحَابًۭا (the) cloudsIt is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice
• 35:9 · Fatirسَحَابًۭا (the) cloudsAnd it is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection.
