Verily the likeness of (this) worldly life is as the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its adornments and is beautified, and its people think that they have all the powers of disposal over it, Our Command reaches it by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday! Thus do We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, laws, etc.) in detail for the people who reflect.
Hakika mfano wa maisha ya dunia ni kama maji tuliyo yateremsha kutoka mbinguni, kisha yakachanganyika na mimea ya ardhi wanayo ila watu na wanyama. Mpaka ardhi ilipo kamilika uzuri wake, na ikapambika, na wenyewe wakadhani wamesha iweza, iliifikia amri yetu usiku au mchana, tukaifanya kama iliyo fyekwa - kama kwamba haikuwapo jana. Namna hivi tunazipambanua Ishara zetu kwa watu wanao fikiri.
