PT. 22 SABA' CH. 34 وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَأْتِيْنَا السَّاعَةُ And those who disbelieve. 4 say, 'The Hour will never come قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَلمِ الْغَيْبِ upon us. Say, “Yea, by my Lord Who knows the unseen, it will surely come upon you! "Not an atom's weight in the heavens or لَا يَعْرُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا أَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذلِكَ in the earth or anything less than that or greater escapes Him, but all is recorded in a perspicuous Book, 3133 وَلَا أَكْبَرُ إلا في كتب مبينة who believe and do good works. لْيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّلِحَتِ That He may reward those. 5 أو ليك لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ It is these who will have forgiveness and an honourable provision. ”3134 "10:62. 10:5; 30:46.

The words, "whatever goes into the earth and whatever comes forth from 2599 it," may also signify that whatever man shall sow, so shall he reap. Good actions produce good results and bad deeds lead to evil consequences. The verse may also signify that God is aware of every phenomenon and every event, including the rise and fall of nations and peoples. 3133.
