Transliteration:( Maa khalaqnaahumaaa illaa bilhaqqi wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon )
"We did not create them but with truthful [40] purpose. But most of them do not understand."
The heavens and the earth were created for a true and wise purpose—so that people may believe and live in obedience.
Allah will reward the obedient and punish the disobedient, yet most people fail to grasp this reality and live as if creation has no aim.

This is why he has formed the view that man, after raising all sorts of the storms in the world, will end up in the dust one day and none of his good or bad acts will bear any fruit. The fact, however, is that this universe is the creation of an All-Wise Creator and not of a frivolous being, and it cannot be expected from an All-Wise Creator that he would perform a useless and vain act. For a detailed explanation, see (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 73); (Surah Younus, Ayat 5-6); (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 16-18); (Surah Al-Muminun, Ayat 115); (Surah Ar-Room, Ayat 8-9) and the corresponding E.Ns.
