Aya 13:17

[Sardar Miyan]

Assalam Bros Can any one please explain the idea behind overthrow foam  of flowing water & metallic  Foam?Thanks

[HOPE]

Salaam,

He sends down water from the sky that fills riverbeds to overflowing, each according to its measure. The torrent carries along swelling foam, akin to what rises from smelted ore from which man makes ornaments and tools. God thus depicts truth and falsehood. The scum is cast away, but whatever is of use to man remains behind. God thus speaks in parables.


Parables are used to make it easier for people to understand that Truth will stay and falsehood drift away.

God sends down water to enliven the earth for our physical growth, similarly He sends down revelation/guidance for our spiritual growth

Rivers, seas flow according to their capacities, similarly we are enriched according to our capacity of our hearts

When the rapid flow of water in streams and rivers  carry away the swelling foam on the surface, similarly with the inrush current of islam in our bodies, superstitions and customs will be drifted away

Just like heating is used to extract the mineral from an ore to utilize it, we are subjected to fiery tests by adversity or wealth 2:155 so that the God fearing people are identified and separated from the evil people.

17:81  And say, “The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for falsehood is bound to wither away.”
