Verses 33-40 of Chapter 36:

The dead land is a Sign for these people. We gave it life and produced grain from it, which they eat. We made gardens of date-palms and grapes in it and caused springs to gush out of it so that they may eat fruits thereof. It is not their hands which have made all this. Do they not then give thanks? Glorified is He Who created in pairs all species, whether of vegetable kingdom or of their own (i.e., human) kind, or of those things of which they know nothing. Another Sign for them is the night: We remove the day from above it, and they are covered in darkness. And the Sun: it is moving to its place of rest. This is the decree of the All-Mighty, All-Knowing God. And the Moon: We have determined stages for it till it again becomes like an old dry palm-branch. Neither is it possible for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day. Each is gliding in its own orbit.
