And I am going to turn the creation on the face of this earth into dust free from vegetation, and this will be after the lifespan of the creation on earth expires, so let them take heed from this.
And We will surely turn all that is on it into a barren land7.
[7] It shows the transient nature of life in this world, so one should invest in it for what comes after death.
And verily We shall make all that is on it (the earth) a bare dry soil (without any vegetation or trees.).
And lo! We shall make all that is thereon a barren mound.
Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).
And most surely We will make what is on it bare ground without herbage.
And We will indeed make whatever is on it arid dry soil.
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلْمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَنْعَٰمُهُمْ وَأَنفُسُهُمْ أَفَلَا يُبْصِرُونَ
Have they not seen that We drive water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?
