Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth an adornment for it, that We may test them, (as to) which of them are best in deeds. اِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا مَا عَلَى الۡاَرۡضِ زِيۡنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبۡلُوَهُمۡ اَيُّهُمۡ اَحۡسَنُ عَمَلاً‏ 8. And indeed, We shall make that which is upon it (earth) a barren dry soil. وَ اِنَّا لَجٰعِلُوۡنَ مَا عَلَيۡهَا صَعِيۡدًا جُرُزًا ؕ ‏ 32. And set forth to them the parable of two men. We had provided, to one of them, two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date palms and had placed between them green crops. وَ اضۡرِبۡ لَهُمۡ مَّثَلاً رَّجُلَيۡنِ جَعَلۡنَا لِاَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيۡنِ مِنۡ اَعۡنَابٍ وَّحَفَفۡنٰهُمَا بِنَخۡلٍ وَّجَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمَا زَرۡعًا ؕ‏ 33. Each of the gardens brought forth its produce, and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth in the midst of them a river. كِلۡتَا الۡجَـنَّتَيۡنِ اٰتَتۡ اُكُلَهَا وَ لَمۡ تَظۡلِمۡ مِّنۡهُ شَيۡـًٔـا‌ ۙ وَّفَجَّرۡنَا خِلٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًا ۙ‏ 34. And he had fruit. So he said to his companion, while he was conversing with him: “I am more than you in wealth, and stronger in (number of) men.” وَ كَانَ لَهٗ ثَمَرٌ ‌ۚ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهٖ وَ هُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗۤ اَنَا اَكۡثَرُ مِنۡكَ مَالاً وَّ اَعَزُّ نَفَرًا‏ 35. And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: “I do not think that (all) this will ever perish.” وَ دَخَلَ جَنَّتَهٗ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهٖ ‌ۚ قَالَ مَاۤ اَظُنُّ اَنۡ تَبِيۡدَ هٰذِهٖۤ اَبَدًا ۙ‏ 36. “And I do not think that the Hour will ever come. And if I am brought back to my Lord, I surely shall find better than this as a return.” وَّ مَاۤ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَآٮِٕمَةً ۙ وَّ لَٮِٕنۡ رُّدِدتُّ اِلٰى رَبِّىۡ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَيۡرًا مِّنۡهَا مُنۡقَلَبًا‏ 37. His companion said to him, while he was conversing with him: “Have you disbelieved in Him who created you from dust, then from a sperm drop, then proportioned you as a man.” قَالَ لَهٗ صَاحِبُهٗ وَ هُوَ يُحَاوِرُهٗۤ اَكَفَرۡتَ بِالَّذِىۡ خَلَقَكَ مِنۡ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنۡ نُّـطۡفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوّٰٮكَ رَجُلاً ؕ ‏ 38. But He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate anyone (as partner) with my Lord. لّٰـكِنَّا هُوَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّىۡ وَ لَاۤ اُشۡرِكُ بِرَبِّىۡۤ اَحَدًا‏ 39. And why did you not say, when you entered your garden: “What Allah wills (comes to pass). There is no power except with Allah. If you see me less than you in wealth and children.” وَ لَوۡ لَاۤ اِذۡ دَخَلۡتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلۡتَ مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ ۙ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ‌ۚ اِنۡ تَرَنِ اَنَا اَقَلَّ مِنۡكَ مَالاً وَّ وَلَدًا ‌ۚ‏ 40. “So it may be that my Lord will give me better than your garden, and He will send on it a bolt from heaven so it will become a barren dusty ground.” فَعَسٰى رَبِّىۡۤ اَنۡ يُّؤۡتِيَنِ خَيۡرًا مِّنۡ جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡهَا حُسۡبَانًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَتُصۡبِحَ صَعِيۡدًا زَلَـقًا ۙ‏ 41. “Or the water of it will be drained deep (in the ground) so you would never be able to seek it.” اَوۡ يُصۡبِحَ مَآؤُهَا غَوۡرًا فَلَنۡ تَسۡتَطِيۡعَ لَهٗ طَلَبًا‏ 42. And his fruit were encircled (with destruction). Then began he turning his hands over what he had spent on it, and which had (now) tumbled to pieces upon its foundations. And he could only say, “Would that I had not associated anyone with my Lord.” وَ اُحِيۡطَ بِثَمَرِهٖ فَاَصۡبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيۡهِ عَلَىٰ مَاۤ اَنۡفَقَ فِيۡهَا وَ هِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوۡشِهَا وَ يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِىۡ لَمۡ اُشۡرِكۡ بِرَبِّىۡۤ اَحَدًا‏ 43. And he had no troop of men to help him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself. وَ لَمۡ تَكُنۡ لَّهٗ فِئَةٌ يَّـنۡصُرُوۡنَهٗ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَ مَا كَانَ مُنۡتَصِرًا ؕ‏
