Indeed the example of worldly life is just like water which We send down from the sky, then the plants of the earth grow with it, from which men as well as livestock eat; until when the earth takes its adornment and is beautified, and its people suppose that they have capability upon it, there comes to it Our Command by night or by day, and We make it as harvested as if it was not there yesterday; just like that We explain in detail Our verses for a people who meditate and reflect.
Verse 39: 21 says: “Do you not see Lord Allah sends down water from the sky and makes it flow as springs on the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors, then they dry and you see them turning to yellow; then He makes them straw; indeed, in it is a Remembrance for the men of understanding”. Verse 30: 19 says: “He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its death, and just like that you will be delivered”. Verses 50: 9-11 say: “And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grains from the harvest; and lofty date palm having dates arranged in clusters as provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land, just like that they will be delivered”. Verse 41: 39 says: “And among His signs is that you see the earth barren, then when We send down water on it, stirred to life and grows; indeed, the One Who gives life to the earth will give Life to the dead, indeed, He is capable upon everything”. Read together 18: 45; 22: 5 and 30: 48-50.
