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 life of the world is like the water which We send down from the sky , and which is absorbed by the plants of the earth , from which men and cattle eat . But when the earth has taken on its finest appearance , and looks beautiful , and its people think they have it under their control , then by day or by night , Our command comes to it and We convert it into a field of stubble , as if nothing had existed there the day before .
