فَاطِر : ٩

  • وَٱللَّهُ And Allah
  • ٱلَّذِيٓ (is) the One Who
  • أَرۡسَلَ sends
  • ٱلرِّيَٰحَ the winds
  • فَتُثِيرُ so that they raise
  • سَحَابٗا (the) clouds
  • فَسُقۡنَٰهُ and We drive them
  • إِلَىٰ to
  • بَلَدٖ a land
  • مَّيِّتٖ dead
  • فَأَحۡيَيۡنَا and We revive
  • بِهِ therewith
  • ٱلۡأَرۡضَ the earth
  • بَعۡدَ after
  • مَوۡتِهَاۚ its death
  • كَذَٰلِكَ Thus
  • ٱلنُّشُورُ (will be) the Resurrection
And it is Allāh who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection.
And it is God Who unleashes the winds (al-riyaaha: a variant reading has al-reeha) and they raise clouds (fatutheeru'l- sahaaba: the imperfect tense here is used to narrate the past), that is, they stir them up, then We drive them (there is a shift here from the third person [to the first person] address) to a dead land (read mayyitin or maytin), wherein is no plant life, and therewith revive the earth, of that land, after it has been dead, [after] its having been dried-out. In other words, We made seeds and grass grow in it: Such will be the Raising, that is, the Resurrection and the bringing [of the dead] back to life.
