Quran 50:11 — Qaaf, verse 11
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
as a provision for everyone; how with water We give [new] life to a land that is dead? This is how the dead will emerge [from their graves].
رِزْقًا لِلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ
riz'qan lil'ʿibādi wa-aḥyaynā bihi baldatan maytan kadhālika l-khurūju
