IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[42:28]
And it is He who sends down rain after [men] have lost all hope, and unfolds His grace [thereby]: for He alone is [their] Protector, the One to whom all praise is due.

* v.28 : This reference to the symbol of life-giving rain connects with the preceding statement that “He bestows [His grace] in due measure, as He wills,” and is a preamble, as it were, to the statement in the next verse that all creation is but a visible “sign” or “revelation” of God’s existence and purposeful activity, as well as of the God-willed continuation of all life in the hereafter.
