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.
