Why Has Allāh Resembled The Dunyā To Water? (forwarded) ⤴️

Imām Al-Qurtubī رحمه الله said: The wise ones have stated: Allāh resembled the dunyā to water (due to the following reasons): 1⃣. Water does not remain motionless in one place. In the same way, the dunyā does not remain upon one state. 2⃣. Water goes and it does not remain. Likewise, the dunyā comes to an end and it does not remain. 3⃣. No one has the ability to enter into water without getting wet. Likewise, in regards to the dunyā, no one is safe from the trials and tribulations of it and its harm. 4⃣. If water is at a (safe) measure, it is a beneficial means of cultivation, but if it goes beyond the (safe) measures, it is a destructive harm. Likewise, in regards to the dunyā, that which is sufficient from it is beneficial; and that which is beyond the need is a harm. ● [الجامع لأحكام القرآن - Al-Kahf: 45]
