The Holy Quran 32:27 — Surah As-Sajdah

Arabic text

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلْمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَنْعَـٰمُهُمْ وَأَنفُسُهُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يُبْصِرُونَ

Translation

Do they (the Kuffaar) not see that We draw water (rain) to arid (dry and bare) land, using it to extract (bring forth) plants from which your animals and you eat? Do they not see (that just as We revive dead land, We can easily revive dead bodies on the Day of Qiyaamah)?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

“Al-ard al-juruz” (the barren land): by الْاَرْضِ الْجُرُزِ (“the barren land”) is meant any dry land devoid of vegetation. Some have held that it refers specifically to the land of Egypt, and have taken نَسُوْقُ الْمَآءَ (“We drive the water”) to mean the water of the river Nile. There is no need for this restriction, as Ibn Kathir ﵀ has pointed out.
