sure: But the torrent bears away to foam that
mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in
the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum
likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity.
For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for
the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth
parables.

P: He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to
their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam -
from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and
tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude
of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as
scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it
remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.

S: He sends down water from the cloud, then watercourses flow (with
water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the
swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of
making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah
compare truth and falsehood; then as for the scum, it passes away as a
worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people, it tarries
in the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables.

who respond not to Him,- Even if they had all that is in the heavens
and on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for
ransom. For them will the reckoning be terrible: their abode will be
Hell,- what a bed of misery!

P: For those who answered Allah's call is bliss; and for those who
answered not His call, if they had all that is in the earth, and
therewith the like thereof, they would proffer it as ransom. Such will
have a woeful reckoning, and their habitation will be hell, a dire
abode.

S: For those who respond to their Lord is good; and (as for) those who
do not respond to Him, had they all that is in the earth and the like
thereof with it they would certainly offer it for a ransom. (As for)
those, an evil reckoning shall be theirs and their abode is hell, and
evil is the resting-place.

Y: Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto
thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who
are endued with understanding that receive admonition;-
