That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.

O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion, for surely suspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor let some of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother?

A sustenance for the servants, and We give life thereby to a dead land; thus is the rising.
