Saad • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَٰطِلًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ﴾
“AND [thus it is:] We have not created heaven and earth and all that is between them without meaning and purpose, as is the surmise of those who are bent on denying the truth: but then, woe from the fire [of hell] unto all who are bent on denying the truth!”
(And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them) of created beings and marvels (in vain) for nothing, without ordaining commands and prohibitions. (That is the opinion of those who disbelieve) that is the denial of those who disbelieve in resurrection after death. (And woe) severe chastisement is (unto those who disbelieve) in resurrection after death, (from the Fire) in the Fire!
