Translation

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

A sign for those who deny the resurrection that the resurrection is true is this dry and barren land, on which I sent down rain from the sky and I grew therein various types of plants and produced various kinds of grains for people to eat. The One Who gave life to this earth by sending down the rain and bringing out the plants, is able to give life to and resurrect the dead.
