*Why did Allāh compare the Dunyā to Water?*
Imām al-Qurtubī (رحمه الله) in his Tafsīr mentions an amazing benefit for the following Āyah in Sūrat al-Kahf:
ﻭﺍﺿﺮﺏ ﻟﻬﻢ ﻣﺜَﻞَ ﺍﻟﺤﻴﺎﺓ ﺍﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ ﻛﻤﺎﺀٍ ﺃﻧﺰﻟﻨﺎﻩ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺴّﻤﺎﺀ
"And set forth to them parable of the life of this world: like water which We send down from the sky" [18:45].
❝The wise men have said: Allāh سبحانه وتعالى compared the Dunyā with Water:
1. Because water doesn't remain fixed in 1 spot, likewise the Dunyā doesn't remain fixed in 1 situation.
2. Because water goes away & doesn't stay, so likewise with the Dunyā, it will vanish and won't stay.
3. Because no one is able to enter the water without getting wet, and likewise with the Dunyā, no one is safe from its Fitnah and harm.
4. Because if water was at a specific amount, it would be beneficial and cause growth, and if it exceeds that amount, it would be harmful and destructive, likewise with the Dunyā, a sufficient means of living is beneficial, and meddling oneself too much (in the Dunyā) brings harm.❞
(Al-Jāmi' Li-Ahkām al-Qur'ān)
