Ar-Room • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ فَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِ رَحْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْىِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ ﴾
“Behold, then, [O man,] these signs of God’s grace - how He gives life to the earth after it had been lifeless! Verily, this Selfsame [God] is indeed the One that can bring the dead back to life: for He has the power to will anything!”
(Look, therefore,) O Muhammad (at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation)) before and after the rain: (how He quickeneth the earth after her death) after her dryness and exposure to drought. (Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead) for the resurrection, (and He is Able to do all things) give life and death and resurrect the creation.
