﴿ مَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَمَّآ أُنذِرُوا۟ مُعْرِضُونَ ﴾
“We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them otherwise than in accordance with [an inner] truth, and for a term set [by Us]: and yet, they who are bent on denying the truth turn aside from the warning which has been conveyed unto them.”
(We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them) of creation and marvels (save with truth) save for the Truth, (and for a term appointed) to which everything proceeds. (But those who disbelieve) the disbelievers of Mecca (turn away from that whereof they are warned) disbelieve in Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an.
