The Holy Quran 29:63 — Surah Al-'Ankabut

Arabic text

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّن نَّزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهَا لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۚ قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Translation

If you ask them (the Mushrikeen) who sends rain from the sky, thereby reviving the earth (by producing vegetation) after its death (after it had been unable to bear anything), they will certainly reply, "Allaah!" Say, "All praise belongs to Allaah" (because it is He Who enables others to do something praiseworthy). However, most of them have no understanding (they fail to realise the contradiction in their beliefs).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, even the rain does not fall equally on everyone. Likewise, circumstances do not take long to change: in a moment [Allah] may turn a pauper into a rich man.
