But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing. When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant [i.e., unlikely] return." We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record. But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition. Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts? And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind. Giving insight and a reminder of every servant who turns [to Allah].
THE QUR'AN, Qaf 50:2-8
