أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ ثَمَرَاتٍ مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهَا ۚ وَمِنَ الْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌ بِيضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ
35:27 The Divine Revelation is likened to water, which produces different effects on different people according to the condition of the soil—that is “of their hearts” referring to their receptivity to the Divine message. Note the different effects of the Qur’ânic Revelation on Abû Bakr(rz), the friend of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and on Abû Jahl, his most bitter enemy. Both received the same “water”, but the fruit produced was different in each of them. As the strata of the mountains are different, so the receivers and hearers of the Divine Message are of different colours and races.
