دو مثال زیبا در بیان حقیقت دنیا

خداوند در ید ۷ همین سوره به این حقیقت اشاره کرده که آنجچه بر روی زمین زینت قرار داده شده» همه اسباب و وسایلی برای امتحان انسان‌ها است تا روشن شود که عمل کدام‌یک از آنها بهتر است و البته این زرق و برق‌ها پس از مدتی نابود می‌شود و چیزی از آن باقی نخواهد ماند. این آیات» توضیحی برای مطلب أَیةُ ۷ است؛ بدین صورت که خداوند با دو مشال زیبا (مثال آن دو مرد و مثال أَیةُ ۴۵)» حقیقت آنچه را که انسان در زندگی دنیایی‌اش از ثروت و فرزند به دست می‌آوردء بیان می کند و توضیح می‌دهد که این زینت‌های زندگی و زیورهای فریب‌دهنده که به زودی از بین می روندء چگونه انسان را از یاد خدا غافل و او را به خود سرگرم کرده دل او را بندةٌ خود می‌کند؛ به گونه‌ای که انسان خیال می‌کند که واقعاً مالک آنهاست؛ تا این که ناگهان بلایی از جانب خداوند فرود آید و آن زندگی باشکوه از بین رود و برای آدمی جز خاطره‌ای که پس از بیداری از خواب به یاد می‌ماند, چیزی باقی نماند.
