know that the life of this world is only a frolic and mummery an ornamentation boasting and bragging among yourselves and lust for multiplying wealth and children. it is like rain so pleasing to the cultivator for his vegetation which sprouts and swells and then begins to wither and you see it turn to yellow and reduced to chaff. there is severe punishment in the hereafter but also forgiveness from god and acceptance. as for the life of this world it is no more than merchandise of vanity.
اعلموا أنما الحياة الدنيا لعب ولهو وزينة وتفاخر بينكم وتكاثر في الأموال والأولاد كمثل غيث أعجب الكفار نباته ثم يهيج فتراه مصفرا ثم يكون حطاما وفي الآخرة عذاب شديد ومغفرة من الله ورضوان وما الحياة الدنيا إلا متاع الغرور
