Arabic

يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ اَبْصَارَهُمْ ۗ كُلَّمَآ اَضَاۤءَ لَهُمْ مَّشَوْا فِيْهِ ۙ وَاِذَآ اَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوْا ۗوَلَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَاَبْصَارِهِمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ࣖ ۝٢٠

Yakādul-barqu yakhṭofu abṣōrohum, kullamā aḍō-a lahum masyau fīh, wa iżā aẓlama ‘alaihim qōmū, wa lau syā-allāhu lażahaba bisam‘ihim wa abṣōrihim, innallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in qodīr

Meaning

The lightning almost snatches their sight away. Whenever it illuminates for them, they walk in it; but when it grows dark over them, they stand still. Had Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Allah is Capable of everything.
