إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاء أَنزَلْنَاهُ
مِنَ السَّمَاء فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ
وَالأَنْعَامُ حَتَّىَ إِذَا أَخَذَتِ الأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَازَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ
أَهْلُهَا أَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَآ أَتَاهَا أَمْرُنَا لَيْلاً أَوْ
نَهَارًا فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِيدًا كَأَن لَّمْ تَغْنَ بِالأَمْسِ كَذَلِكَ
نُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

The Aya
says:
The
example of this life is non-other than water that We brought down from the
sky. So, by it the plants of the earth
sprouted and mixed of what people and livestock eat. Until when the earth had taken its adornments
and beauty and its people thought that they are in control of it, Our order
came to it night or day so we transformed it denuded as if it did not prosper
in the past. As such, we point out the
signs for people who contemplate.
My
personal note:
The Aya
seems to predict that the earth will be in a form of prosperity and high
advances just before the time of the earths destruction happens.
The Aya
points out a very interesting and very accurate point. That is when the time of the earths
destruction, the message will come day or night. That is accurate because the earth will
always have one part of it in daylight whereas the other part will be in the
night. So, when the destruction happens,
it will hit some people in the dead of night and others in the middle of the
day.
