38:27

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـٰطِلًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ٢٧

Saheeh International

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

The Wisdom behind the Creation of This World Allah tells us that He did not create the creatures in vain; He created them to worship Him Alone, then He will gather them on the Day of Gathering and will reward the obedient and punish the disbelievers.Allah says:وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاء وَالاَْرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلً ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواAnd We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve!meaning, those who do not think that the resurrection and the place of return will occur, but they think that there is nothing after this world.فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنَ النَّارِThen woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire!means, woe to them on the Day when they will be resurrected, from the Fire that is prepared for them.Then Allah explains that because of His justice and wisdom, He does not treat the believers and the disbelievers equally.Allah says:أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الاَْرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ
