The good land—its vegetation comes out by the permission of its Lord, and as for that which is bad, it does not come out except sparsely. Thus do We paraphrase the signs variously for a people who give thanks.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-‘A’raf, Verse 58
58. "And the good land -its vegetation comes forth (in abundance) by the leave of its Lord while that which is bad springs up nothing but (something useless) scantily. Thus do We repeat the Signs for a people who give thanks."
The verses of the Qur'an are like the rains of mercy. When they are recited unto the receptive persons, they bring acknowledgement, love, faith and effort afterward. But they do not increase anything in the unbelievers save obstinacy and enmity. The Qur'an says:
Yet, it should be said that, the family nobility, is one of the factors of heritage and personality.
For this reason, only the descent of the rain of mercy is not enough, but the fitness and eligibility of the place, and also the leave of Allah, are necessary.
The Qur'an is the source of guidance and statement for all, but only the pious ones, and those who are thankful, can enjoy its contents.
