Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: (Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."

It is He Who has made the sea subject, that ye may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that ye may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah and that ye may be grateful.

Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!

Nor are the two bodies of flowing water alike,- the one palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, and the other, salt and bitter. Yet from each (kind of water) do ye eat flesh fresh and tender, and ye extract ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the Bounty of Allah that ye may be grateful.

难道你没有看见那个人吗？他经过一个荒凉的颓废的城市，他说：“真主怎样使这个已死的城市复活呢？”故真主使他在死亡的状态下逗留了一百年，然後使他复活。他说：“你逗留了多久？”他说：“我逗留了一日，或不到一日。”他说：“不然，你已逗留了一百年。你看你的饮食，没有腐败。你看你的驴子。我要以你为世人的迹象。你看这些骸骨，我怎样配合他，怎样以肉套在它的上面。”当他明白这件事的时候，他说：“我知道真主对於万事是全能的。”

他制服海洋，以便你们渔取其中的鲜肉，做你们的食品；或采取其中的珠宝，做你们的装饰。你看船舶在其中破浪而行，以便你们寻求他的恩惠，以便你们感谢。

然后，我把精液造成血块，然后，我把血块造成肉团，然后， 我把肉团造成骨骼，然后，我使肌肉附着在骨骼上，然后我把他造成别的生物。愿真主降福，他是最善于创造的。

两海不一样，这海是很甜的、可口的淡水，那海是很苦的咸水。你们可吃每一海中所产的新鲜的肉，又可采你们所戴的首饰。你看船舶在海上破浪而行，以便你们寻求他的恩惠，以便你们感谢他。
