Do you not see that

}2{

Do you not see that Allah sent down water from the sky, then made it

flow on earth as springs and streams and rivers and then with it He

brings forth vegetation of various colors; then this vegetation ripens and

dries up, turning yellow, whereafter He reduces it to broken straw?

Surely there is a lesson in this for those endowed with understanding.1}{ Have they not seen that We drive water to the parched land,

thereby bringing forth crops which they and their cattle eat? Are

they unable to see? }9{ Do you not observe that Allah makes the cloud move gently then

joins its pieces together: then gathers it into a mass of thick cloud:

then you see that rain-drops fall down from its midst: and He sends

down hail out of the high up mountains in the heaven: then He

smites with it whom He wills and turns it away from whom He

pleases: then a flash of lightning from it dazzles the eyes. He

alternates the day and the night: there is indeed a lesson in it for

those who have observing eyes.

}} And it is He Who has sent down water from the heavens, and thereby

We have brought vegetation of every kind, and out of this We have

brought forth green foliage and then from it close-packed ears of corn,

and out of the palm-tree from the sheath of it - thick clustered dates,

hanging down with heaviness, and gardens of vines, and the olive tree,

and the pomegranate - all resembling one another and yet so different.

Behold their fruit when they bear fruit and ripen! Surely, in all this there

are signs for those who believe. }8}1 So let man just consider his food:We poured water, pouring it in great

abundance,and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder;then caused the

grain to grow out of it,together with grapes and vegetables,and olives

and palms,and dense orchards,and fruits and pastures all this as a

provision for you and your cattle. 1}9{

We sent down water from the sky in right measure.

Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky whereby

the earth turns green? Verily Allah is Subtle, All-Aware.3}0{

Do you not see that Allah sent down water from the sky with which

We brought forth fruits of different colors? In the mountains there

are streaks, white and red, of different colors, and pitchy black;and

human beings too, and beasts, and cattle diverse are their colors.

From among His servants, it is only those who have knowledge that

fear Allah. Verily Allah is Most Mighty, Most Forgiving.

9}0{We sent down water from the sky in right measure, and caused it to

stay in the earth, and We have the power to cause it to vanish (in

the manner We please). }9}2 He Who sent down water from the sky in a determined measure,

and thereby revived a dead land: likewise will you be raised up (from

the earth).

Bringing the dead land back to life with water.

}{1

You see the earth dry and barren and then no sooner than We

send down water upon it, it begins to quiver and swell and

brings forth every kind of beauteous vegetation. All this is

because Allah, He is the Truth, and because He resurrects the

dead, and because He has power over everything. 8}2{ We also sent down blessed water from the heaven, wherewith Wecaused gardens and harvest-grain to grow,and tall palm-trees with

their thickly-clustered spathes; all this as sustenance for Our

servants. And thus We do bring the dead land back to life with

water. Such shall be the coming forth (of human beings from the

earth).

-6}3{ Allah sends down water from the heaven, and thereby He instantly

revives the earth after it lay dead. Verily there is a sign in it for those

who have ears.

Know well that Allah revives the earth after it becomes lifeless. We

have clearly shown Our Signs to you, perhaps you will use your reason.8}02{

Allah sends the winds that stir up clouds and then He spreads them

in the sky as He wills and splits them into different fragments,

whereafter you see drops of rain pouring down from them. He then

causes the rain to fall on whomsoever of His servants He wills, and

lo, they rejoice at it, although before that they were given to

despair.See, then, the tokens of Allah's Mercy: how He revives the

earth after it is dead. Verily He is the One Who will revive the dead.

He has power over everything.But if We were to send a wind and

then their tilth has become yellow, they would become ungrateful

(unbelievers). }{

And it is He Who sends forth winds as glad tidings in advance of His

Mercy, and when they have carried a heavy-laden cloud We drive it

to a dead land, then We send down rain from it and bring forth

therwith fruits of every kind. In this manner do We raise the dead

that you may take heed. 3}08{

And it is He, Who drives the winds to be the harbingers of His mercy:

then He sends down pure water from the sky so that He may revive

the dead land, and quench the thirst of many of His creatures from

among beasts and men. We present the same phenomenon over

and over again before them so that they may learn a lesson from it;but most people decline to adopt any other attitude than of disbelief

and ingratitude. 8}{

And of His Signs is that He shows you lightning, arousing both fear

and hope, and sends down water from the sky and revives the earth

after it is dead. Indeed there are Signs in this for those who use their

reason.

In these there are great Signs for those who ...

}-6}93

Let the dead earth be a Sign for them. We gave it life and produced

from it grain whereof they eat.We made in it gardens of date-palms

and vines, and We caused springs to gush forth that they might eat

of its fruits. It was not their hands that made them. Will they not,

then, give thanks? 2}{ And of His Signs is that you see the earth withered, then We senddown water upon it, and lo! it quivers and swells. Surely He Who

gives life to the dead earth will also give life to the dead. Surely He

has power over everything.6}82{

He it is Who sends down water for you from the sky out of which

you drink and out of which grow the plants on which you pasture

your cattle,and by virtue of which He causes crops and olives and


15/19

Page 14 of19


date-palms and grapes and all kinds of fruit to grow for you. Surely

in this there is a great Sign for those who reflect.3}{

Behold, for those who believe there are (myriad) Signs in the

heavens and the earth and in your own creation; and in the animals

which He spreads out over the earth too there are Signs for those

endowed with sure faith;and in the succession of night and day, and

in the provision that Allah sends down from the sky wherewith He

gives life to the earth after it had been lifeless, and in the change of

the winds: (in all these) there are Signs for people who use reason.

These are Allah's Signs that We rehearse to you in Truth. In what

kind of discourse after Allah and His Signs will they, then, believe?8}9{He it is Who shows you His Signs and sends down provision for you from

the sky. Yet none takes heed except he who constantly turns to Allah.}6{

Did you ever consider?

Surely there are countless signs for those who use their common

sense; they can see in the creation of the heavens and the

earth, in the alternation of the night and day, in the ships thatsail the ocean laden with cargoes beneficial to mankind, and in

the rain-water which Allah sends down from the sky and thereby

gives life to the earth after its death and spreads over it all kinds

of animate creatures, in the blowing of the winds and in the

clouds which obediently wait for orders between the sky and the

earth.

6}08{ Did you cast a good look at the water that you drink? Is it you

who brought it down from the clouds or is it We Who brought it

down? If We had so pleased, We could have made it bitter. So

why would you not give thanks? }8{Say to them: Did you even consider: if all the water that you

have (in the wells) were to sink down into the depths of the

earth, who will bring you clear, flowing water?

Is there any god associated with Allah in these tasks? }2}82

He created the heavens without any pillars visible to you and He placed

mountains in the earth as pegs lest it should turn topsy turvy with you,

and He dispersed all kinds of animals over the earth, and sent down

water from the sky causing all kinds of excellent plants to grow on it.

Such is Allah's creation. Show me, then, what any others, apart from Allah,

have created. Nay, the fact is that the wrong-doers are in manifest error.9}1{

He it is Who causes you to see lightning that inspires you with both fear

and hope, and He it is Who whips up heavy clouds. The thunder

celebrates His praise and holiness, and the angels, too, celebrate His

praise for awe of Him. He hurls thunderbolts, striking with them whom

He wills while they are engaged in disputation concerning Allah. He is

Mighty in His contriving.To Him alone should all prayer be addressed,

for those to whom they do address their prayers beside Him are

altogether powerless to respond to them. The example of praying to any

other than Allah is that of a man who stretches out his hands to water,

asking it to reach his mouth, although water has no power to reach his

mouth. The prayers of the unbelievers are a sheer waste.

}8{

Who is it that has created the heavens and the earth and sent down for

you water from the sky and then We caused to grow therewith orchards

full of beauty whose trees you could never grow. Is there any god

associated with Allah (in these tasks)?" Nay, they are a people who are

veering away from the Right Path.Who is it Who has made the earth a

place of resort, and has caused rivers to flow in its midst, and has placedupon it firm mountains, and has placed a barrier between two masses of

water? Is there any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Nay; but

most of them do not know. Who is it Who heeds the prayers of the

distressed when he calls out to Him and Who removes his affliction? And

who is it Who makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there any god

associated with Allah (in this task)? How little do you reflect!Who is it

Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea? And Who sends

winds as heralds of good tidings ahead of His Mercy? Is there any godassociated with Allah (in this task)? Exalted be Allah above whatever

they associate with Him in His Divinity!Who is it Who creates in the first

instance and then repeats it? Who is it Who provides you with

sustenance from the heavens and the earth? Is there any god associated

with Allah (in these tasks)? Say: "Bring forth your evidence, if you are

truthful."

Ignorant people pass by these signs without giving any heed

The way of the men of understanding towards these signs.

}8386{

How many are the signs in the heavens and the earth which people

pass by without giving any heed! And most of them believe in Allah

only when they associate others with Him in His Divinity.

}82{ Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the

alternation of night and day, there are signs for men of understanding;

those who remember Allah while standing, sitting or (reclining) on their

backs, and reflect in the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying):

'Our Lord! You have not created this in vain. Glory to You! Save us, then,

from the chastisement of the Fire.
