They said, "Woe to us; we were unfair."
This continued to be their cry, until We made them silent ashes.
We did not create the sky and the earth and what is between them for amusement.
If We wanted amusement, We could have found it within Us, were We to do so.
In fact, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it crushes it, so it vanishes. Woe unto you, for what you describe.
To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. Those near Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they waver.
They praise night and day, without ever tiring.
