Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.
Jueni ya kwamba maisha ya dunia ni mchezo, na pumbao, na pambo, na kujifakhirisha baina yenu na kushindana kwa wingi wa mali na watoto. Mfano wake ni kama mvua ambayo huwafurahisha wakulima mimea yake, kisha hunyauka ukayaona yamepiga manjano kisha yakawa mabua. Na akhera kuna adhabu kali na maghfira kutoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu na radhi. Na maisha ya dunia si chochote ila ni starehe ya udanganyifu.
