So Will Be the Resurrection
وَٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابࣰا فَسُقۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدࣲ مَّيِّتࣲ فَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلنُّشُورُ ٩
And Allah it is Who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud; then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
It is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, setting still air in motion, raising clouds and giving life to dead land is an example of the resurrection.
Reflect
Remember the resurrection when you see rain.
