And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗۖ لَّكُم مِّنۡهُ شَرَابٞ وَمِنۡهُ شَجَرٞ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ ١٠

[More precisely], is He [not best] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you rain from the sky, causing to grow thereby gardens of joyful beauty which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof?

O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed¹ - that We may show you.² And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ أَحۡيَيۡنَٰهَا وَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مِنۡهَا حَبّٗا فَمِنۡهُ يَأۡكُلُونَ ٣٣

Wa āyatul lahumul-arḍul-maytatu aḥyaynāhā wa akhrajnā minhā ḥabban faminhu yaʾkulūn.

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا جَنَّٰتٖ مِّن نَّخِيلٖ وَأَعۡنَٰبٖ وَفَجَّرۡنَا فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡعُيُونِ ٣٤

Wa jaʿalnā fīhā jannātim min nakhīliw wa aʿnābiw wa fajjarnā fīhā minal-ʿuyūn.

لِيَأۡكُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦ وَمَا عَمِلَتۡهُ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ أَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُونَ ٣٥

Liyaʾkulū min thamarihī wa mā ʿamilathu aydīhim, afalā yashkurūn.

That they may eat of His fruit.¹ And their hands have not produced it,² so will they not be grateful?

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٦

Wa nazzalnā minas-samāʾi māʾam mubārakan fa anbatnā bihī jannātiw wa ḥabbal-ḥaṣīd.

And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest

وَٱلنَّخۡلَ بَاسِقَٰتٖ لَّهَا طَلۡعٞ نَّضِيدٞ ١٠

Wan-nakhla bāsiqātil lahā ṭalʿun naḍīd.

And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -

رِّزۡقٗا لِّلۡعِبَادِۖ وَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡخُرُوجُ ١١

Rizqal lil-ʿibād, wa aḥyaynā bihī baldatam maytā, kadhālikal-khurūj.

As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَالِقُ ٱلۡحَبِّ وَٱلنَّوَىٰۖ يُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَمُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ٩٥

Innallāha fāliqul-ḥabbi wan-nawā, yukhrijul-ḥayya minal-mayyiti wa mukhrijul-mayyiti minal-ḥayy, dhālikumullāh, fa annā tuʾfakūn.

Indeed, Allāh is the cleaver of grain and date seeds.¹ He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living. That is Allāh; so how are you deluded?

۞ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنشَأَ جَنَّٰتٖ مَّعۡرُوشَٰتٖ وَغَيۡرَ مَعۡرُوشَٰتٖ وَٱلنَّخۡلَ وَٱلزَّرۡعَ مُخۡتَلِفًا أُكُلُهُۥ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَٰبِهٗا وَغَيۡرَ مُتَشَٰبِهٖۚ كُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِۦٓ إِذَآ أَثۡمَرَ وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُۥ يَوۡمَ حَصَادِهِۦۖ وَلَا تُسۡرِفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ١٤١

Wa huwal-ladhī anshaʾa jannātim maʿrūshātiw wa ghayra maʿrūshātiw wan-nakhla waz-zarʿa mukhtalifan ukuluhū waz-zaytūna war-rummāna mutashābihaw wa ghayra mutashābih, kulū min thamarihī idhā athmara wa ātū ḥaqqahū yawma ḥaṣādih, wa lā tusrifū, innahū lā yuḥibbul-musrifīn.

And He it is who causes gardens to grow, [both] trellised and untrellised, and palm trees and crops of different [kinds of] food and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat of [each of] its fruit when it yields and give its due [zakāh] on the day of its harvest. And be not excessive.¹ Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَدَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۡهَٰرٗاۖ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۖ يُغۡشِي ٱلَّيۡلَ ٱلنَّهَارَۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٣

Wa huwal-ladhī maddal-arḍa wa jaʿala fīhā rawāsiya wa anhārā, wa min kullith-thamarāti jaʿala fīhā zawjaynithnayn, yughshil-laylan-nahār, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yatafakkarūn.

And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ قِطَعٞ مُّتَجَٰوِرَٰتٞ وَجَنَّٰتٞ مِّنۡ أَعۡنَٰبٖ وَزَرۡعٞ وَنَخِيلٞ صِنۡوَانٞ وَغَيۡرُ صِنۡوَانٖ يُسۡقَىٰ بِمَآءٖ وَٰحِدٖ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعۡضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ فِي ٱلۡأُكُلِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٤

Wa fil-arḍi qiṭaʿum mutajāwirātuw wa jannātum min aʿnābiw wa zarʿuw wa nakhīlun ṣinwānuw wa ghayru ṣinwāniy yusqā bimāʾiw wāḥidiw wa nufaḍḍilu baʿḍahā ʿalā baʿḍin fil-ukul, inna fī dhālika laʾāyātil liqawmiy yaʿqilūn.

And within the land are neighboring plots and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] several from a root or otherwise,¹ watered with one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مَّوۡزُونٖ ١٩

Wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa anbatnā fīhā min kulli shayʾim mawzūn.

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

وَمِن ثَمَرَٰتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنۡهُ سَكَرٗا وَرِزۡقًا حَسَنًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٦٧

Wa min thamarātin-nakhīli wal-aʿnābi tattakhidhūna minhu sakaraw wa rizqan ḥasanā, inna fī dhālika laʾāyatal liqawmiy yaʿqilūn.

And from the fruits of the palm trees and grapevines you take intoxicant and good provision.¹ Indeed in that is a sign for a people who reason.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ ٧

Awalam yaraw ilal-arḍi kam anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjin karīm.

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ٨

Inna fī dhālika laʾāyah, wa mā kāna aktharuhum muʾminīn.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦ ثَمَرَٰتٖ مُّخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهَاۚ وَمِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ جُدَدُۢ بِيضٞ وَحُمۡرٞ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٞ ٢٧

Alam tara annallāha anzala minas-samāʾi māʾan fa akhrajnā bihī thamarātim mukhtalifan alwānuhā, wa minal-jibāli judadum bīḍuw wa ḥumrum mukhtalifun alwānuhā wa gharābību sūd.

Do you not see that Allāh sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby fruits of varying colors? And in the mountains are tracts, white and red of varying shades and [some] extremely black.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنَٰهَا وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجِۭ بَهِيجٖ ٧

Wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjim bahīj.

And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلۡأَنَامِ ١٠

Wal-arḍa waḍaʿahā lil-anām.

Fīhā fākihatuw wan-nakhlu dhātul-akmām.

وَٱلۡحَبُّ ذُو ٱلۡعَصۡفِ وَٱلرَّيۡحَانُ ١٢

Wal-ḥabbu dhul-ʿaṣfi war-rayḥān.

And grain having husks and scented plants.

وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونِ ١

Wat-tīni waz-zaytūn.

By the fig and the olive¹

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسۡجُدُۤ لَهُۥۤ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡعَذَابُۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكۡرِمٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ۩ ١٨

Alam tara annallāha yasjudu lahū man fis-samāwāti wa man fil-arḍi wash-shamsu wal-qamaru wan-nujūmu wal-jibālu wash-shajaru wad-dawābbu wa kathīrum minan-nās, wa kathīrun ḥaqqa ʿalayhil-ʿadhāb, wa may yuhinillāhu famā lahū mim mukrim, innallāha yafʿalu mā yashāʾ.

Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified.¹ And he whom Allāh humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.

وَٱلنَّجۡمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسۡجُدَانِ ٦

Wan-najmu wash-shajaru yasjudān.

And the stars and trees prostrate.¹

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ ٦٣

Afaraʾaytum mā taḥruthūn.

And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ ٦٤

Aʾantum tazraʿūnahū am naḥnuz-zāriʿūn.

Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ ٦٥

Law nashāʾu lajaʿalnāhu ḥuṭāman faẓaltum tafakkahūn.

If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,¹

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ ٦٦

Innā lamughramūn.

[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ٦٧

Bal naḥnu maḥrūmūn.

Rather, we have been deprived."

ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ ٱلۡأَخۡضَرِ نَارٗا فَإِذَآ أَنتُم مِّنۡهُ تُوقِدُونَ ٨٠

Al-ladhī jaʿala lakum minash-shajaril-akhḍari nāran fa idhā antum minhu tūqidūn.

[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ ٧١

Afaraʾaytumun-nāral-latī tūrūn.

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ ٧٢

Aʾantum anshaʾtum shajaratahā am naḥnul-munshiʾūn.

Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعٗا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ ٧٣

Naḥnu jaʿalnāhā tadhkirataw wa matāʿal lil-muqwīn.

We have made it a reminder¹ and provision for the travelers,²

وَلَئِنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا رِيحٗا فَرَأَوۡهُ مُصۡفَرّٗا لَّظَلُّواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٥١

Wa laʾin arsalnā rīḥan faraʾawhu muṣfarral laẓallū mim baʿdihī yakfurūn.

But if We should send a [bad] wind and they saw [their crops] turned yellow, they would remain thereafter disbelievers.¹

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَسَلَكَهُۥ يَنَٰبِيعَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يُخۡرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرۡعٗا مُّخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصۡفَرّٗا ثُمَّ يَجۡعَلُهُۥ حُطَٰمًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٢١

Alam tara annallāha anzala minas-samāʾi māʾan fasalakahū yanābīʿa fil-arḍi thumma yukhriju bihī zarʿam mukhtalifan alwānuhū thumma yahīju fatarāhu muṣfarran thumma yajʿaluhū ḥuṭāmā, inna fī dhālika ladhikrā liʾulil-albāb.

Do you not see that Allāh sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding.

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ٤

Wal-ladhī akhrajal-marʿā.

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ ٥

Fajaʿalahū ghuthāʾan aḥwā.

And [then] makes it black stubble.
