سورة الكهف
7

إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ زِينَةٗ لَّهَا لِنَبۡلُوَهُمۡ أَيُّهُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗا

Inna jaAAalna ma AAala alardi zeenatan laha linabluwahum ayyuhum ahsanu AAamalan

That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.

8

وَإِنَّا لَجَٰعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيۡهَا صَعِيدٗا جُرُزًا

Wainna lajaAAiloona ma AAalayha saAAeedan juruzan

Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).

9

أَمۡ حَسِبۡتَ أَنَّ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡكَهۡفِ وَٱلرَّقِيمِ كَانُواْ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا عَجَبًا

Am hasibta anna ashaba alkahfi waalrraqeemi kanoo min ayatina AAajaban

Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign?
