and so he began wringing his hands

over what he had invested in it, as it

lays fallen upon its trellises. And he

45 And cite for them the parable of

the present life: it is like water that

We send down from the sky; the

plants of the earth absorb it; but then

it becomes debris, scattered by the

wind. Allah has absolute power over

everything.

46 Wealth and children are the

adornments of the present life. But

the things that last, the virtuous

deeds, are better with your Lord for

reward, and better for hope.
