Surat Yunus (23-24)

{فَلَمَّا أَنجَاهُمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا بَغْيُكُمْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُم مَّتَاعَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَينَا مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ} (يونس : 23)

23- So, when Allah rescued them from this distress and affliction, they went back to their Pre-Islamic actions by oppressing people, spreading corruption on earth publically, and fearing not their Lord or torment. O people, be reasonable and beware, for the oppression you practice, the corruption you spread, the blood which you shed, and deluding media you broadcast shall be against yourselves and their bad consequences shall turn against you, for you shall not harm Allah anything. Let it be known that you live in transit pleasures and a short life then you shall go back to us on the Day of Recompense to inform you all of your actions for which We shall reckon you, so wait for that day.

{إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاء أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالأَنْعَامُ حَتَّىَ إِذَا أَخَذَتِ الأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَازَّيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَا أَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَتَاهَا أَمْرُنَا لَيْلاً أَوْ نَهَاراً فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِيداً كَأَن لَّمْ تَغْنَ بِالأَمْسِ كَذَلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ} (يونس : 24)

24- The example of this worldly life in regard to its adornment, bliss, temptation to people, and its quick vanish is like rain when it comes down to earth to water its plants and trees, and increase the crops and fruits which people and animals eat. When the earth completes its beauty, decoration, and greenness and the people think they are able to plant it and pick up its fruits, Our Command of destruction comes to it to drown its plants and destruct its fruits whether in the morning or in the evening, in the time of their indifference or wakefulness to root it up as if it was not planted a short period ago.

Such proofs and examples are given to reasonable people who ponder over and take a lesson. The world temptations deceive many people however its vanish is rapid, and the lesson is taken from what remains not what vanishes, and regret does not pay on the Day of Recompense.
