  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Or (take) the similitude Of one who passed By a hamlet, all in ruins To its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall God Bring it (ever) to life, After (this) its death?" But God 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 God hath power Over all things."
