Would anyone of you wish that he should have a green garden of palm trees and vines, watered by canals and laden with all sorts of fruit and then it should be consumed by a fiery whirlwind at the very time when he himself has grown very old and his small children are too feeble to earn anything? Thus Allah makes His revelations clear and plain to you that you may ponder over them.
آيا از ميان شما كسى هست كه دوست داشته باشد كه او را بوستانى از خرما و انگور بوده باشد، و جويها در پاى درختانش جارى باشد، و هر گونه ميوه‌اى دهد، و خود پير شده و فرزندانى ناتوان داشته باشد، به ناگاه گرد بادى آتشناك در آن بوستان افتد و بسوزد؟ خدا آيات خود را براى شما اينچنين بيان مى‌كند، باشد كه بينديشيد.
