How often does lightning occur on our planet in a year?

There are probably 1500 to 2000 thunderstorms active around the world at any one time. It has been estimated from satellite observations that lightning flashes approximately 50 -100 times per second on a global basis. Lightning therefore flashes as often as three billion times each year across the whole planet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lightening is a ray of hope of profitability.

             Allah, the Exalted, informed the humanity, in Grand Qur'aan:

He is the One Who frequently keeps visually showing to you people the lightening, which causes a ray of  fear as well hope of profitability. [Refer 13:12]

In addition, the fact that He keeps visually showing to you people the lightening is one of His evident demonstratively indicative signs, creating a state of fear and a ray of hope of profitability. [Refer 30:24]

Grand Qur’aan is to stay permanently, a guide in time and space, and a statement of fact.  It is necessary that whatever is therein, it should be easily perceivable by every reader in time and space notwithstanding the level of information and knowledge available to him. Moreover, it must remain a fact according to the enhanced knowledge of each individual in time and space.

The Grand Qur'aan is composed of Aa'ya'at-verbal unitary passages mirroring established realities and facts. These are categorized as , [Passive Participle] those who have the adjectival specification of containing commands and injunctions of firm, established and universal application. They at their own have no further role to perform. The other category of verbal unitary passages are [Active Participle] those who perform the act of  mirroring invisible realities and facts through metaphorical presentations. Since they are the active participle, therefore, they will keep performing the job of relating invisible realities, at any given point in time, in accordance with the level of knowledge acquired by people.

The information is that the effect of lightening, in addition to causing  mind to perceive threat,  also generates a ray of hope of profitability. Both the perceptions are opposite to each other. It means fear and apprehension of emerging a threat of loss and unpleasant happening. On the other hand is a strong desire and inclination to gain advantage and profit. 

The fear from lightening is common to human beings of all times and space. The simultaneous state of was also understood since lightening gives the hope of rain. The statement was a fact for those who listened or read the Qur'aan hundreds of years back and is a fact when we read it today after having known effect of lightening in the atmosphere which causes descending of "sustenance and food" for the "demised Earth-lost the salient feature of life-production".

and that from sustenance/food which Allah has descended from the Sky, thereby He rejuvenated the Earth, after its "demise", with this sustenance/food ; [45:05]

Lightening is a ray of hope of profitability.

"Lightning is not all bad, however. The soil is enriched with nitrogen that is released from the atmosphere by lightning and carried to the ground by raindrops."  Nitrogen composes about four-fifths (78.03 percent) by volume of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is inert and serves as a diluents for oxygen in burning and respiration processes. It is an important element in plant nutrition; certain bacteria in the soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form, such as nitrate, that can be absorbed by plants, a process called nitrogen fixation. {biological or industrial process by which molecular atmospheric nitrogen is converted into a chemical compound that is essential for plant growth}
