Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And of His portents (is this): that thou seest the earth lowly, but when We send down water thereon it thrilleth and groweth. Lo! He Who quickeneth it is verily the Quickener of the Dead. Lo! He is Able to do all things.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

And among His Signs in this: thou seest the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He has power over all things.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ومن آياته ) أي : على قدرته على إعادة الموتى ( أنك ترى الأرض خاشعة ) أي : هامدة لا نبات فيها ، بل هي ميتة ( فإذا أنزلنا عليها الماء اهتزت وربت ) أي : أخرجت من جميل ألوان الزروع والثمار ، ( إن الذي أحياها لمحيي الموتى إنه على كل شيء قدير )
