The Living from the Dead
يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَيُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّ وَيُحۡيِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ تُخۡرَجُونَ ١٩
He bringeth forth the living from the dead, and He bringeth forth the dead from the living, and He reviveth the earth after her death. And even so will ye be brought forth.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He brings the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is like bringing animals from food, chicks from eggs, humans from a drop, the learned from the ignorant, and believers from disbelievers.
Reflect
Pray to revive a part of yourself that has died.
