Scholars offer complementary perspectives
We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except as a creation in truth so that it may be an indication of Our power and Our Oneness and for an appointed term until the point of their annihilation on the Day of Resurrection. Yet those who disbelieve are disregardful of what they are warned of what they are threatened with in the way of impending chastisement.
