أَوَلَمْ
يَنظُرُوا
فِي
مَلَكُوتِ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضِ
وَمَا
خَلَقَ
اللَّهُ
مِن
شَيْءٍ
وَأَنْ
عَسَى
أَن
يَكُونَ
قَدِ
اقْتَرَبَ
أَجَلُهُمْ
فَبِأَيِّ
حَدِيثٍ
بَعْدَهُ
يُؤْمِنُونَ
ʾa-wa-lam yanẓurū fī malakūti s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-mā khalaqa llāhu min shayʾin wa-ʾan ʿasā ʾan yakūna qadi qtaraba ʾajaluhum fa-bi-ʾayyi ḥadīthin baʿdahū yuʾminūna
Have they not contemplated the dominions of the heavens and the earth, and whatever things Allah has created, and that maybe their time has already drawn near? So what discourse will they believe after this?!
— Ali Quli Qarai
Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms is nigh drawing to an end? In what message after this will they then believe?
