ٱلْعَنْكَبُوت : ٦٣

  • وَلَئِن And if
  • سَأَلۡتَهُم you ask them
  • مَّن Who
  • نَّزَّلَ sends down
  • مِنَ from
  • ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky
  • مَآءٗ water
  • فَأَحۡيَا and gives life
  • بِهِ thereby
  • ٱلۡأَرۡضَ (to) the earth
  • مِنۢ after
  • بَعۡدِ after
  • مَوۡتِهَا its death
  • لَيَقُولُنَّ Surely, they would say
  • ٱللَّهُۚ Allah
  • قُلِ Say
  • ٱلۡحَمۡدُ All Praises
  • لِلَّهِۚ (are) for Allah
  • بَلۡ But
  • أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ most of them
  • لَا (do) not
  • يَعۡقِلُونَ use reason
And if you asked them, "Who sends down rain from the sky and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Say, "Praise to Allāh"; but most of them do not reason.
And if (wa-la-in: the laam is for oaths) you were to ask them, 'Who sends down water from the sky, and therewith revives the earth after its death?' They would assuredly say, 'God': so how can they ascribe partners to Him?! Say, to them: 'Praise be to God!', that the proof has been established against you. Nay, but most of them do not realise, their contradictiousness in this respect.
