The Holy Quran 35:9 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

وَٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَسُقْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلنُّشُورُ

Translation

Allaah is the One Who sends the winds which carry a cloud. We then waft (lift) it (the cloud) to a dead (arid, barren) land, and with it (the rain) We revive the earth after its death. Thus shall be the resurrection (on the Day of Qiyaamah when dead souls will be revived).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

An argument for the resurrection from rain and clouds: by the command of Allah the winds raise and bring the clouds, and the land of a country that lay dead — that is, with no crops or greenery, and dust blowing on all sides — is brought to life by the rainwater.
