And whatever you spend of good: indeed, God is Knowing of it.

     And as it is [said in the verse:] "So that We might revive [by sending the rain] a lifeless land..."; some nations would like those who are far from a habitat with water, as opposed to the inhabitants of jurisdictions because [the latter] are [already] near the stream-beds and the rivers and the springs, so they are in no need of [and have already] overcome [the dependency upon] irrigation of rainwater […]
