أَيَوَدُّ
أَحَدُكُمۡ
أَن
تَكُونَ
لَهُۥ
جَنَّةٞ
مِّن
نَّخِيلٖ
وَأَعۡنَابٖ
تَجۡرِي
مِن
تَحۡتِهَا
ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ
لَهُۥ
فِيهَا
مِن
كُلِّ
ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ
وَأَصَابَهُ
ٱلۡكِبَرُ
وَلَهُۥ
ذُرِّيَّةٞ
ضُعَفَآءُ
فَأَصَابَهَآ
إِعۡصَارٞ
فِيهِ
نَارٞ
فَٱحۡتَرَقَتۡۗ
كَذَٰلِكَ
يُبَيِّنُ
ٱللَّهُ
لَكُمُ
ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Would any of you wish to have a garden with date-palms and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for him therein, while he is striken with old age, and his children are weak (not able to look after themselves), then it is struck with a fiery whirlwind, so that it is burnt? Thus does Allâh make clear His Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses) to you that you may give thought.1

Chapter 2, Page 45, Juz 3

265. And the likeness of those who spend their wealth seeking Allâh’s Pleasure while they in their ownselves are sure and certain that Allâh will reward them (for their spending in His Cause), is the likeness of a garden on a height; heavy rain falls on it and it doubles its yield of harvest. And if it does not receive heavy rain, light rain suffices it. And Allâh is All-Seer (knows well) of what you do. 266. Would any of you wish to have a garden with date-palms and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for him therein, while he is striken with old age, and his children are weak (not able to look after themselves), then it is struck with a fiery whirlwind, so that it is burnt? Thus does Allâh make clear His Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses) to you that you may give thought.
