انما مثل الحياة الدنيا كماء انزلناه من السماء فاختلط به نبات الارض مما ياكل الناس والانعام حتى اذا اخذت الارض زخرفها وازينت وظن اهلها انهم قادرون عليها اتاها امرنا ليلا او نهارا فجعلناها حصيدا كان لم تغن بالامس كذلك نفصل الايات لقوم يتفكرون

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.
