  • مَّا Not
  • خَلَقَ Allah (has) created

  • لَكَٰفِرُونَ surely (are) disbelievers
Do they not contemplate within themselves?1 Allāh has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.
Footnotes
1 - An additional meaning is "Do they not contemplate concerning themselves."
Have they not contemplated themselves?, so that they might emerge from their oblivion. God did not create the skies and the earth, and what is between them, except with the truth and an appointed term, for that [creation], at the conclusion of which this [creation] will perish, and after which will be the Resurrection. But indeed many people, that is to say, [such as] the Meccan disbelievers, disbelieve in the encounter with their Lord, that is, they do not believe in resurrection after death.
