We have made whatever exists on the earth its adornment to test and try them (and) know who acts better;
We have indeed placed all that is on the earth as its adornment in order that We may test them, who among them has the best deeds.
We have appointed all that is on the earth for an adornment for it, and that We may try which of them is fairest in works;
Behold, We have willed that all beauty on earth be a means by which We put men to a test, [showing] which of them are best in conduct;
Verily We have made whatsoever is on the earth as an adornment thereof, that We may prove them - which of them is best in work.
Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for it, in order that We may test them (mankind) as to which of them are best in deeds. [i.e. those who do good deeds in the most perfect manner, that means to do them (deeds) totally for Allah's sake and in accordance to the legal ways of the Prophet SAW].
We made what is upon the earth an ornament for it, to test them as to which of them is best in conduct.
Surely We have made all that is on the earth an embellishment for it in order to test people as to who of them is better in conduct.

We have adorned the earth with attractive things, so that We may test mankind as to which one is best in conduct,
That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

<p>It was said in verse 7: إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْ‌ضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا (Surely, We have made what is on earth an adornment for it) with reference to all living forms, vegetation, mountains, minerals and everything else present on the earth. They are its embellishment. That there are snakes, scorpions, beasts and many harmful and fatal things may lead someone to doubt as to how can they be called 'an adornment for it.' This doubt is unfounded because everything in this world considered harmful, fatal or plain bad may be so in a restricted sense but, in terms of the totality of creation, nothing is bad. Everything, no matter how bad, has been invested with many benefits by Allah Ta’ ala on other counts. The medical use of poisonous and fatal life forms in the interest of human beings is an example. Therefore, things that are considered even bad are not that bad in terms of the function of this entire universe.</p>
