Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in vain. That is the opinion of those who disbelieve. And woe unto those who disbelieve, from the Fire!

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Not without purpose did We create heaven and earth and all between! that were the thought of Unbelievers! but woe to the Unbelievers because of the Fire (of Hell)!

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يخبر تعالى أنه ما خلق الخلق عبثا وإنما خلقهم ليعبدوه ويوحدوه ثم يجمعهم ليوم الجمع فيثيب المطيع ويعذب الكافر ولهذا قال تعالى : ( وما خلقنا السماء والأرض وما بينهما باطلا ذلك ظن الذين كفروا ) أي : الذين لا يرون بعثا ولا معادا وإنما يعتقدون هذه الدار فقط ، ( فويل للذين كفروا من النار ) أي : ويل لهم يوم معادهم ونشورهم من النار المعدة لهم .
