የቅርቢቱ ሕይወት ምሳሌ ከሰማይ እንዳወረድነው ውሃ ፣ በእርሱም ሰውና እንስሳዎች ከሚበሉት የምድር በቃይ ተቀላቅሎበት ( እንደ ፋፋ ) ምድርም ውበትዋን በያዘችና ባጌጠች ጊዜ ባለቤቶችዋም በርሷ ላይ እነርሱ ቻዮች መኾናቸውን ባሰቡ ጊዜ ትእዛዛችን ሌሊት ወይም ቀን መጥቶባት ትላንት እንዳልነበረች የታጨደች እንዳደረግናት ብጤ ነው ፡ ፡ እንደዚሁም ለሚያስተነትኑ ሕዝቦች አንቀጾችን እናብራራለን ፡ ፡
The example of the life of this world ( which has enamoured you into becoming heedless to Our signs ) is that of water that We sent down from the heaven which causes the vegetation of the earth , which sustains men and cattle , to grow luxuriantly . But when the earth took on its golden raiment and became well adorned and the owners believed that they had full control over their lands Our command came upon them by night or by day , and We convened it into a stubble , as though it had not blossomed yesterday .
