17 Preface اعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحيِي الأَرضَ بَعدَ مَوتِها ۚ قَد بَيَّنّا لَكُمُ الآياتِ لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَYusuf AliKnow ye (all) that God giveth life to the earth after its death!1 already have We shown the Signs plainly to you, that ye may learn wisdom.As the dead earth is revived after the refreshing showers of rain, so is it with the spirit of man, whether as an individual or a race or Ummah. There is no cause for despair. God’s Truth will revive the Spiritual faculties if it is accepted with humility and zeal.
