وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنَّكَ تَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ خَٰشِعَةًۭ فَإِذَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَآءَ ٱهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْيَاهَا لَمُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ
And of His signs is that you see the earth stilled, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and grows. Indeed, He who has given it life is the Giver of Life to the dead. Indeed, He is over all things competent.

Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And of His portents) and of the signs of His divine Oneness and power ((is this): that thou seest the earth lowly) still and dead, (but when We send down water) rain (thereon it thrilleth) because of the rain (and groweth) vegetation. (Lo! He who quickeneth it) after it was dead (is verily the Quickener of the dead) for the resurrection. (Lo! He is Able to do all things) whether it is giving death or life.

Scholars largely agree on this ayah

And among His signs is that you see the earth desolate dried out without any vegetation but when We send down water upon it it stirs it moves and swells swells and rises. Truly He Who revives it is indeed the Reviver of the dead. Surely He has power over all things.
