And when her calling was to renounce it and turn away from it entirely, and to use it as evidence of the completeness of its Creator's knowledge and the comprehensiveness of His power to recreate the creatures as He began them, and other than that secretly, due to it being concealed from minds by the desires of souls, He alerted to it by His saying, the Most High: "And indeed, We will make"; meaning, by what We have of greatness, this description is firmly established for us always. "What is upon it" of all that adornment is not difficult for us at all. "As a barren land"; meaning, soil, by destroying that adornment by removing its greenness, so that the barrier preventing the soil from taking over it is removed. Then We will unleash upon it the sun and the winds, and thus it will return to its origin as soil. "Barren"; meaning, dry, not producing anything by its nature. And so we do with whoever caused the affliction to be unleashed upon him, whether he is a human or otherwise, it is the same. And since it is observed that the plants are revived by the permission of Allah, the Most High, by sending down water upon them to the plant form, which is evidence of reviving the dead time after time as long as the earth exists in this form, the mention of that was concealed as a veil for this illuminating proof from the ignorant who are preoccupied with appearances, knowing from Him, glorified and exalted is He, that it appears to those with insight.
