Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 47-49Verses 45-46

      The good things of this world are transient and fleeting; but we cannot easily understand that, in our short life of 60 to 80 years. Here the Glorious Qurän, through an expressive parable illustrates the life on the earth saying:ِ

      ``Strike for them the similitude of the present life which is like the drop of rain that We send it down from the sky.'' It serves to fertilise and develop the seeds when it sinks down and mingles with the soil. Then the plain of deserts and mountains becomes full of movements. There appears everywhere, the buds, flowers, and fruits, one after another adorning the land. It seems that everything is alive. Every bud smiles, every bird shouts of joy, and every tree is dancing with happiness! But very soon the Fall of Autumn appears, to turn the trees and plants yellow, and make every green grass or leaf, as dry stubble which can easily be scattered by the wind! Not the vegetation alone that, everything down here is fleeting; the rank and wealth, the strength and health, and even the man power and children, all will move swiftly away!

      Only the righteous deeds have a lasting value in the sight of God, and may become the foundation of our hopes for God's rewards in the Hereafter.
