اعْلَمُوا
أَنَّمَا
الْحَيَاةُ
الدُّنْيَا
لَعِبٌ
وَلَهْوٌ
وَزِينَةٌ
وَتَفَاخُرٌ
بَيْنَكُمْ
وَتَكَاثُرٌ
فِي
الْأَمْوَالِ
وَالْأَوْلَادِ
كَمَثَلِ
غَيْثٍ
أَعْجَبَ
الْكُفَّارَ
نَبَاتُهُ
ثُمَّ
يَهِيجُ
فَتَرَاهُ
مُصْفَرًّا
ثُمَّ
يَكُونُ
حُطَامًا
وَفِي
الْآخِرَةِ
عَذَابٌ
شَدِيدٌ
وَمَغْفِرَةٌ
مِّنَ
اللَّهِ
وَرِضْوَانٌ
وَمَا
الْحَيَاةُ
الدُّنْيَا
إِلَّا
مَتَاعُ
الْغُرُورِ

Know that the worldly life is only a game, a temporary attraction, a means of boastfulness among yourselves and a place for multiplying your wealth and children. It is like the rain which produces plants that are attractive to the unbelievers. These plants flourish, turn yellow, and then become crushed bits of straw. In the life hereafter there will be severe torment or forgiveness and mercy from God. The worldly life is only an illusion.
