And coin for them the similitude of the life of the world (it is) as
water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth
mingleth with it and then becometh dry twigs that the winds scatter. And
Allah is Potent over everything.

Commentary
Fakhtalata – (mingled), it
is past tense from the word ‘ikhtalaat, which has come out from khilt.
Khilt means “mixture, intermixed, to mix up”. ‘Ikhtalaat means “amalgamation,
mixing different things, to be thick, springing of every kind of verdure and vegetation”.
Hashiimun – (dry twigs,
small pieces), this word is an adjective from hasham, which means “to
wither, to fall off after becoming withered, to become bran”.
Tazruu – (they scatter), it aims “the winds
scatter the dry twigs here and there”.
Muq-tadiraa – (Potent), it
is the Subject from the word qadara. Qudratun means “Potency, influence,
power, sovereignty etc.”
Holy Qur’an draws attention of
the mankind unto inconstancy and unstableness of the world. After Oneness of
God and Messenger-hood, it is Its special topic. This truth has been impressed
on the minds of human being at various places in Holy Qur’an by embellishing
in different styles of explanation that the consequence of being involved in
worldly matters only will be worse.
It has been commanded here, and the
same has been caused to understand in Surah Yunus that you should behold
the earth. It seems that it revives by the rain water. After raining, verdure
begins to bloom all around. We see different kinds of trees, shrubs, trees and plants
of fruit and flowers. But then, what does happen? The season of autumn comes
and everything withers. It becomes dry twigs and the winds scatter all of it
hither and thither.
In the same manner, you should
consider that the world is seen prosperous with everything. In all directions,
jollity, hustle & bustle, attractive and charming scenes fascinate the
hearts. But on a Day, nothing will be remaining. Everything will be destroyed
and it will be known that Potent over everything is God Almighty.
