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 likeness of this present life is as water that We send down out of heaven , and the plants of the earth mingle with it whereof men and cattle eat , till , when the earth has taken on its glitter and has decked itself fair , and its inhabitants think they have power over it , Our command comes upon it by night or day , and We make it stubble , as though yesterday it flourished not . Even so We distinguish the signs for a people who reflect .
