اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ مَٓاءً فَسَالَتْ اَوْدِيَةٌ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَابِيًاۜ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَٓاءَ حِلْيَةٍ اَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِثْلُهُۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَۜ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَٓاءًۚ وَاَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْاَرْضِۜ كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَۜ ١٧

English Translation
17Allah sends down water from the sky, and the valleys fill and overflow with it as far as they can. The torrent sweeps away the foam that forms on its surface. A similar foam forms on what you melt in the fire to make ornaments or tools. This is how Allah illustrates truth and falsehood by example! In the end the foam vanishes, while what benefits people remains on the earth. This is how Allah explains the truths through examples.
