The Holy Quran 35:27 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ ثَمَرَٰتٍ مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٰنُهَا ۚ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌۢ بِيضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ

Translation

Do they (the Kuffaar) not see that (the powers of) Allaah (are so great that He) sends rain from the sky (which is colourless), using it to bring forth many fruits of varying colours (each having unique tastes, textures and characteristics)? From the mountains, (you will find that) there are different ridges, varying from white to red of different shades and some which are extremely black (even though all the mountains are similar in composition).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

A display of power: that is, fruits of various kinds. And then within a single kind He produced fruits of many colours. To produce such different things from one soil, one water and one air displays a wondrous and extraordinary power. That is, white too in many shades (some very white, some less, some less still), and red too in many shades.
