وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَٓاءٍ اَنْزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِه۪ نَبَاتُ الْاَرْضِ فَاَصْبَحَ هَش۪يمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُقْتَدِرًا ٤٥

English Translation
45Give those who boast of their wealth this example of the life of this world: It is just like this: when the rain We send down from the sky mixes with the soil, a dense cover of plants forms on the earth; then this greenery dries up and becomes worthless debris that the wind scatters and carries away. For Allah has power over all things.
