(18:45) (O Prophet), propound to them the parable of the present life: it
is like the vegetation of the earth which flourished luxuriantly when it mingled
with the water that We sent down from the sky, but after that the same vegetation
turned into stubble which the winds blew about. Allah alone has the power over
all things.41 (18:46) Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of the world. But
the deeds of lasting righteousness are the best in the sight of your Lord in
reward, and far better a source of hope.
41. Allah has power over everything. He gives life and also death, He causes the rise and the downfall. It is by His command that the seasons change. Therefore, O disbelievers, if you are enjoying prosperity today, you should be under no delusion that this condition will remain forever. That God, by Whose command these things have been bestowed on you, has the power to snatch away all this by another command.
