57

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ بِهِ بِهِۦ مِن كَذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ ﴿٥٧﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.
