36. Ya-Sin (Ya Sin): 33-35

There is a sign for them in the lifeless earth: We give it life and We produce grain from it for them to eat; We have put gardens of date palms and grapes in the earth, and We have made springs of water gush out of it so that they could eat its fruit. It was not their own hands that made all this. How can they not give thanks? (Abdul Haleem)


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. And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs - That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful? (Saheeh International)


A Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat. And We produce therein orchard with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein: That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks? (Yusuf Ali)


And [yet,] they have a sign [of Our power to create and to resurrect] in the lifeless earth which We make alive, and out of which We bring forth grain, whereof they may eat; and [how] We make gardens of date-palms and vines [grow] thereon, and cause springs to gush [forth] within it, so that they may eat of the fruit thereof, though it was not their hands that made it. Will they not, then, be grateful? (Muhammad Asad)


There is a sign for them in the dead earth: We give it life, producing grain from it for them to eat. And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it, so that they may eat from its fruit, which they had no hand in making. Will they not then give thanks? (Mustafa Khattab)


There is a sign in the dead earth for them which We quicken, and produce from it grain which they eat. We have laid out gardens of dates and grapes upon it, and made springs of water flow, So that they may eat of its fruit; yet it was not done by their hands. Then why do they not acknowledge thanks? (Ahmed Ali)


And yet, there is a sign for them in the lifeless earth which We revive and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof. [Divine Revelation can, likewise, revive dead communities and make them blessings for all humanity] And We produce therein gardens of date palm and grapevines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein, That they may enjoy the fruit thereof, although their hands did not make it. Will they not then be grateful? (Shabbir Ahmed)
