In the Bible: the thunder is the voice of Jehovah, the Lord God.
This ultimate fact is found in many Biblical verses like for example 1 Samuel 2:10, 7:10, 2 Samuel 22:14, Job 37:4-5 and Psalm 18:13
Such verses say:
Jehovah, the Lord God:
- Thundered with a great thunder
- Thundered from heaven
- Shall thunder upon them
- Thundered with the voice of His Excellency
The thunder is but the voice of Jehovah, the Lord God:
- His voice is heard
- The Most High uttered His voice
- God thundered marvelously with His voice
- Lord thundered in the heavens, and the Highest uttered His voice
- Jehovah thundered in the heavens, the Most High uttered his voice

In the Quran, The thunder is an Angel, his voice is to Glorify Allah.
The meanings of the verse 13:13:
The thunder proclaims his praise to his Almighty Creator.
The thunder says: all Glory and praise be to Allah.
And this thunder saying is the voice of the thunder that we hear.
Not only the thunder proclaims His praise to his Almighty Creator, but also, the Angels do proclaim their praises, in awe of Allah.
It is interesting that the Angels who never ever sin proclaim their praise, all the time, in awe of Allah, although man who is sinful does not!
Also, the unbelievers among mankind dispute and argue about Allah, though He is great in might, in power, or in the severity of His retribution.
The unbelievers among mankind argue about the Religion of Allah; however, Allah is mighty in wrath, His chastisement is severe. Exalted is He!
According to Islamic teachings, it should be emphasized that anyone believes that the thunder is the voice of the Almighty Creator will dwell in the Eternal Fire forever!
