🛡️ The Reality of Worldly Life 🌍

📖 Tafseer (Commentary) of Ayah 87:5-6

🔹 The Temporary Nature of Worldly 🌍 Blessings

✅ (اللَّهُ) Allah creates everything in its best form, yet eventually, it fades away.
✅ This is the reality of the world 🌍—its beauty and charm are temporary.

🔴 6️⃣ The Worldly Life 🌍: From Bloom to Withering

1️⃣ The world 🌍 appears beautiful and attractive in its prime.
2️⃣ Over time, everything withers and fades, just as plants turn dry and black.
3️⃣ This teaches us that no blessing in this world 🌍 is everlasting—only the bounties of the Hereafter remain forever.

Thus, (اللَّهُ) Allah reminds us not to be deceived by the temporary pleasures of this life but to strive for eternal rewards. 🌳

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Al-Ala verse 5 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Al-Ala ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 13.


Ala-Maududi

(87:5) and then made it into a blackish straw.[6]


6. That is, He does not only bring about spring but autumn as well. You witness both the manifestations of this power. On the one side, He causes lush green vegetation to grow, the freshness of which pleases the hearts and, on the other, He renders the same vegetation pale, dry and black rubbish, which is blown about by winds and swept away by floods. Therefore, no one here should be involved in the misunderstanding that he will only experience spring and will never see autumn. This same theme has been expressed at several other places in the Quran in other ways. For example see (Surah Younus, Ayat 24); (Surah Al-Kahf, Ayat 45); (Surah Al-Hadid, Ayat 20).

(5) And [then] makes it black stubble.
