The Holy Quran 67:16 — Surah Al-Mulk

Arabic text

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ

Translation

Do you have no fear that (if you continue committing kufr and sinning) He in the heavens will cause the earth to swallow you up after which it would quake?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
