Surah 16. An-Nahl, Ayah 65
| وَاللَّهُ أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'allaah anzala min as- samaa' maa' fa- ah.yaa bi- -hi al- 'ard. bacda mawt -haa 'inna fe dhaalika la- 'aayah li- qawm yasmacon |
| Pickthall | : | Allah sendeth down water from the sky and therewith revives the earth after her death! Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a folk who hear. |
| Asad | : | AND GOD sends down water from the skies, giving life thereby to the earth after it had been lifeless:74 in this, behold, there is a message indeed for people who [are willing to] listen. |
| Malik | : | Allah sends down water from the sky, and with it gives life to the land after it has been dead (this Qur'an is being sent to serve the same purpose). Surely in this example there is a sign for those who listen. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And Allah sends down rain from the skies and gives therewith life to the earth after its death: verily in this is a Sign for those who listen. 2092 |
Note - 74As so often in the Qur'an, a reference to the spiritual
life engendered by divine revelation is followed here by
a reference to the miracle of organic life as another
indication of God's creative activity.

Note - 2092When the earth with all its vegetation is well-nigh dead,
parched and shrivelled up, a vivifying shower of rain
from above gives it new life. This natural phenomenon is
a sign of Allah's infinite power, especially of His power
to resurrect the dead, and thereafter muster them for
judgment.
