So Will Be the Emergence
رِّزۡقࣰا لِّلۡعِبَادِۖ وَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةࣰ مَّيۡتࣰاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخُرُوجُ ١١
Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
As provision for the servants, and We gave life to a dead land. Thus is the emergence.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, life is given to dry soil that had ceased to grow; emergence from the grave will be the same.
Reflect
When you see dry land turn green, remember the resurrection.
