25) What is the life of this world ?

(57 : 20)

Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp

and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and

children. (It is) as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the

growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it

turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a

severe torment (for the disbelievers – evil-doers), and (there is)

Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers –

good-doers). And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment.
