Command verb
ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ (Know) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Sahih International
Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allāh and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.
