تسبیح رعد

این تعبیر نشان می‌دهد که این پدیدهٌ آسمانی» موضوع ساده‌ای نیست؛ بلکه بازگوکنندةٌ علم و قدرت خدا است؛ چرا که تسبیح به معنای منزه شمردن از هر عیب و نقص است و حمد به معنای ستایش خداست. به این ترتیب» غرش رعد» از اوصاف جمال و جلال خدا سخن می‌گوید. این سخن ممکن است به زبان حال باشد؛ همان گونه که یک اختراع مهم» از علم و آگاهی مخترع سخن می‌گوید و او را مدح و ستایش می‌کند؛ یا ممکن است به زبان قال باشد؛ چنان که بعضی از مفسران گفته‌اند که تمام ذرات این جهان هر کدام برای خود سهمی از عقل و شعور دارند و تسبیح و حمد آنها از روی عقل و شعور و درک است. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- المیزان» ج۱۱, ص ۳۰۳ > ۴ المیزان» ج۰۱۱ ص ۳۳۳ > ۷ پیام قرآن» چ۲» ص ۲۶۲ > ۲- نمونه ج0۱۰ ص ۱۳۰ > ۴ المیزان» جچ۱۱, ص ۳۳۳ ۵ تفسیر موضوعی, چ۵» ص ۶۶ ۶- نمونهء ج۰۱۰ ص ۱۴۵ > ۱- المیزان» جچ۰۱۱ ص ۳۰۳ ۲ نمونه, ج۱۰ ص ۱۳۰ ۳ پیشین» ص ۱۴۲ > ۶- نمونهء ج۰۱۰ ص ۱۴۵ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, Tafsīr-i Mawḍūʿī, Payām-i Qurʾān.
