33 Preface وَآيَةٌ لَهُمُ الأَرضُ المَيتَةُ أَحيَيناها وَأَخرَجنا مِنها حَبًّا فَمِنهُ يَأكُلونَYusuf AliA Sign for them is the earth that is dead:1 We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.Lest anyone should say, 'if they are destroyed, how can they be brought before the Judgment Seat' a symbol is pointed to. The earth is to all intents and purposes dead in the winter, but God revives it in the spring. Cf. 2:164, 30:19, and many other passages to that effect.
