The lightning comes close to snatch their seeing
Every time it lighted for them they walked in it.
And when it darkened for them they stood still
And if Allah chose, He surely would have gone away
With their hearing and their seeing.
Indeed Allah is in full control of everything.

His control extends to every element and to the minutest detail so that not even a leaf falls without His knowing (006:060).
