  Corruption in the earth, so as if he killed the people entirely, and whoever revived it, so as if he revived the people entirely.

  أَحْيَاهَا — he revived it. A past-tense verb in the causative (form-IV) pattern 'gave life to/revived', with 'it/her' attached as object pointing back to 'the soul/life'. The form-IV shape is what turns 'live' into 'cause to live'. The attached object pronoun tracks the life saved, and the verb stands as the condition of the positive rule.
