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 the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies : by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals : ( It grows ) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out ( in beauty ) : the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it : There reaches it Our command by night or by day , and We make it like a harvest clean-mown , as if it had not flourished only the day before ! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect .
