al-Baqarah (The Cow)
ٱلْبَقَرَة
2:266
أَيَوَدُّ
أَحَدُكُمْ
أَن
تَكُونَ
لَهُ
جَنَّةٌ
مِّن
نَّخِيلٍ
وَأَعْنَابٍ
تَجْرِي
مِن
تَحْتِهَا
الْأَنْهَارُ
لَهُ
فِيهَا
مِن
كُلِّ
الثَّمَرَاتِ
وَأَصَابَهُ
الْكِبَرُ
وَلَهُ
ذُرِّيَّةٌ
ضُعَفَاءُ
فَأَصَابَهَا
إِعْصَارٌ
فِيهِ
نَارٌ
فَاحْتَرَقَتْ
كَذَلِكَ
يُبَيِّنُ
اللَّهُ
لَكُمُ
الْآيَاتِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

(What do you think of the case) of one of you who wishes to have a garden of palm-trees and grapes with water flowing therein and producing all kinds of fruits, especially if he is well advanced in age and has weak children who need support, and then a hurricane with fire in it strikes the garden and burns it to the ground? This is how God explains to you His evidence so that you may think.
