مَا
خَلَقْنَا
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضَ
وَمَا
بَيْنَهُمَا
إِلَّا
بِالْحَقِّ
وَأَجَلٍ
مُّسَمًّى
وَالَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
عَمَّا
أُنذِرُوا
مُعْرِضُونَ

We created not the heavens and the earth and all between them but for just ends, and for a Term Appointed: But those who reject Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned.
— Abdullah Yusufali
We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them except with consummate wisdom and for a specified term. Yet the faithless are disregardful of what they are warned.
