Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 44:39

Open in Qurani

And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play. We created them not except with truth, but most of them know not. Here Allah tells us of His justice, and that He is far above mere play, folly and falsehood. This is like the Ayah:

وما خلقنا السماء واﻻرض وما بينهما بطﻼ ذلك ظن الذين كفروا فويل للذين كفروا من النار

And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire! (38:27)

أفحسبتم

أنما خلقنكم عبثا وأنكم إلينا ﻻ ترجعون

فتعلى الله الملك الحق ﻻ إله إﻻ هو رب العرش الكريم

Did you think that We had created you in play, and that you would not be brought back to Us? So Exalted be Allah, the True King: La ilaha illa Huwa, the Lord of the Supreme Throne! (23:115-116) Then Allah says:

إن يوم الفصل ميقاتهم أجمعين
