( ما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما إلا بالحق وأجل مسمى ) يعني يوم القيامة ، وهو الأجل الذي تنتهي إليه السموات والأرض ، وهو إشارة إلى فنائهما ( والذين كفروا عما أنذروا ) خوفوا به في القرآن من البعث والحساب ( معرضون ) .
I did not create the heavens and the earth and I did not create what is between them in vain, but rather I created all of it with truth and with complete wisdom. Amongst that is for His servants to recognise Him through them and so worship Him alone and not associate any partner with Him, and so that they fulfil the demands of their being made deputy on earth until a fixed time which Allah alone knows. And those who disbelieve in Allah are turning away from the Book of Allah they are being warned through, without paying attention to it.
