Similitude of the world

Surah Yuunus (Jonah) - 10

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 إِنَّمَا مَثَلُٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمُ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَٱزَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَآ أَنَّهُمْ قَٰدِرُونَ عَلَيْهَآ أَتَىٰهَآ أَمْرُنَا لَيْلًا أَوْنَهَارًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهَا حَصِيدًا كَأَن لَّمْ تَغْنَ بِٱلْأَمْسِ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 24  

24a.  The similitude of the life of the world is only as water which We send down from the sky, then the earth’s growth of that which men and cattle eat mingleth with it -

24a.  ‘Innamaa  Masalul-Hayaa-tiddunyaa  kamaa-‘in  ‘anzal-Naahu  minas-samaaa-‘i  fakh-talata  bihii  nabaatul-‘arzi  mim-maa  ya’-kulunnaasu  wal-‘an-‘aam.

Commentary

Condition of the mankind was described in the previous verses. He has been falling in love with this world. Some people are those who, when they are exposed to imminent danger, begin to pray in these words: Our Lord! If You save us from this disaster, we shall worship You during our further entire life. But as soon as the disaster is removed, they rebel again more than first time.

Such people were warned that their rebellion will bring calamity on themselves. The world is only for a few days. If you are saved in it, then what? At the end, you will come back unto Us and will be punished properly for your evil deeds. In this verse, reality of this world has been caused to understand them, so that they should know: there is no need of love with this unsteady world.

It is commanded: Behold! Hear the similitude of that thing of the world; on which you are tempted. We caused to rain from the sky, Verdure on the earth began to bloom. With the abundance of vegetation; all fields were filled. No space was remained empty on the land. Some of it became food for the mankind and some feed for the cattle. Every kind of grain, fruit, vegetables, green and straw, flowers and plants had grown for freshness for the eyes and pleasure for the hearts. In short, the entire land was laden with the growth, feeling spring through long looking.
