Know that the life of this world is nothing but sport and pastime and pomp and boasting among yourselves and competition for increase in wealth and children, it is like rain, the growth of vegetation through which pleases the farmer, then it dries up and you see it become yellow, then it becomes broken pieces. And in the hereafter there is severe punishment and protective forgiveness and pleasure from Allah. And the life of this world is nothing but a deceptive provision.
Life of this world is compared with vegetation which ultimately dries up and becomes pieces, it is said to be deceptive.

57-25


We indeed sent Our messengers with clear proofs and We sent down with them the book (law) and the balance (justice) that mankind may conduct themselves with justice, and We sent down the iron in which is severe strength {1} and other benefits for mankind; and that Allah may know (mark out) him who helps Him and His messengers without seeing (Him), Allah is certainly Strong, Mighty. (R 3)
For Iron Sent Down:

The ultimate stellar ash is made up of iron. In iron atomic nuclei are packed as tightly as possible. Iron is the heaviest element that gets synthesized in a star by standard nuclear burning. It has the most stable nucleus. The energy required to synthesize iron is not available on earth, therefore the iron found in the earth must have been synthesized in outer space.

(I. New scientist Jan, 13th 1990.
2. Journal of Chemical Education Sept. 1990.
3. Video cassettes, referred to in note 30:3).

In view of this the word Nazala meaning sent down, not only shows that the Crust iron present in the earth, the major portion of the core being composed of it, was sent down from outer space, but also indicates that the origin of the earth and other planets was associated with a star, in this case (the sun where temperatures and energies are of very high order, and thus confirms the findings of science.

Messengers were sent for guiding human beings.

57-27


Then We made Our messengers to follow in their footsteps and We made Isa, the son of Maryam, to follow and gave him the Injeel,and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. And they invented monasticism*, We did not prescribe it for them, only to seek Allah’s pleasure, but they did not observe it with the observation due to it. So We gave to those who believed from among them, their reward, and most of them are transgressors. [* Seclusion from worldly life.]
Some details of Isa (PBH) and his followers are mentioned. See commentary on page 412 Chapter:19 Verses 16-40

57-28


O you who believe! fear Allah and believe in His messenger, He will give you a double portion of His mercy and He will appoint for you a light through which you will walk and He will protectively forgive you and Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful,
Believers are ordered to fear Allah (SWT) and believe in prophet Muhammed (PBH), if they do this Allah (SWT) will appoint for them a light which will be a source of guidance so that the owners of the book should know that it is only Allah (SWT) Who guides.
