Al-Mukhtasar
And in the alteration of the night and day, and the rainwater Allah sent down from the sky, then He gave life to the earth through it by making plants grow in it after it was dead without any plants, and in the alteration of the winds by bringing them from one direction at times and other directions at other times for your benefit, are proof for people who understand. So they use them as proof of Allah’s oneness, His power to resurrect and His power over everything.
And in the alternation of the night and day, the provision that Allah sends down from the sky2, reviving thereby the earth after its death, and directing of the winds, there are signs for people of understanding.
