Al-Mulk • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ ﴾
“Can you ever feel secure that He who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up when, lo and behold, it begins to quake?”
(Have ye taken security) by your transgression, O people of Mecca, (from Him Who is in the heaven) from the chastisement of He Who is in Heaven established on the Throne (that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed) swirling with you to the seventh earth, just as it has swallowed Korah?
