Surah Al-Baqara · Ayah 266·Madanī

266

أَن لَهُۥ مِّن مِن لَهُۥ فِيهَا مِن وَلَهُۥ فِيهِ كَذَٰلِكَ لَكُمُ لَعَلَّكُمْ ﴿٢٦٦﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allah make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.
