Sura 10 Yunus (Jonas), ayah 24

  1. إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالْأَنْعَامُ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَخَذَتِ الْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَازَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَا أَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَتَاهَا أَمْرُنَا لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِيدًا كَأَنْ لَمْ تَغْنَ بِالْأَمْسِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

    Translation by words

    إِنَّمَا
    Only
    مَثَلُ
    (the) example
    ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ
    (of) the life
    ٱلدُّنْيَا
    (of) the world
    كَمَآءٍ
    (is) like (the) water
    أَنزَلْنَٰهُ
    which We sent down
    مِنَ
    from
    ٱلسَّمَآءِ
    the sky,
    فَٱخْتَلَطَ
    so absorbs
    بِهِۦ
    [with] it,
    نَبَاتُ
    (the) plants
    ٱلْأَرْضِ
    (of) the earth
    مِمَّا
    from which
    يَأْكُلُ
    eat
    ٱلنَّاسُ
    the men
    وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمُ
    and the cattle,
    حَتَّىٰٓ
    until
    إِذَآ
    when
    أَخَذَتِ
    takes
    ٱلْأَرْضُ
    the earth
    زُخْرُفَهَا
    its adornment
    وَٱزَّيَّنَتْ
    and is beautified
    وَظَنَّ
    and think
    أَهْلُهَآ
    its people
    أَنَّهُمْ
    that they
    قَٰدِرُونَ
    have the power
    عَلَيْهَآ
    over it,
    أَتَىٰهَآ
    comes (to) it
    أَمْرُنَا
    Our command
    لَيْلًا
    (by) night
    أَوْ
    or
    نَهَارًا
    (by) day,
    فَجَعَلْنَٰهَا
    and We make it
    حَصِيدًا
    a harvest clean-mown,
    كَأَن
    as if
    لَّمْ
    not
    تَغْنَ
    it had flourished
    بِٱلْأَمْسِ
    yesterday.
    كَذَٰلِكَ
    Thus
    نُفَصِّلُ
    We explain
    ٱلْءَايَٰتِ
    the Signs
    لِقَوْمٍ
    for a people
    يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
    who reflect.

    The example of (this) worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - (those) from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.
