The life of on this planet can be explained in this parable: We [God] send down rain from up above and cause vegetations to flourish which become the source of nourishment for mankind and animals alike. Such abundance of growth beautifies the earth with color, fragrance and joyful presence and people begins to believe that they have become the master of their fortune and this earth. But Our [God’s] reminders come by day or by night and We render the earth like a field freshly mown down, as if it did not exist the day before. This is how We [God] spell out the details for those who wish to reflect (and repurpose their lives).(10:24) – our life has parallels in the natural world that should be constant source of reminders. The earth provides not only material nourishment but also the spiritual awareness, but we need to be mindful, reflective and seek out such signs for God’s presence!
