So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same one] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Revival of the Earth is a Sign of the ResurrectionHere Allah explains how He creates the clouds that rain the water.اللَّهُ الَّذِى يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَـحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَاباً(Allah is He Who sends the winds, so that they raise clouds) either from the sea, as was mentioned by more than one (of the scholars), or from whatever Allah wills.فَيَبْسُطُهُ فِى السَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ يَشَآءُ(and spread them along the sky as He wills,) means, He spreads them and causes them to increase and grow.
