Transliteration:( Awalam yanzuroo fee malakootis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa khalaqal laahu min shai'inw wa an 'asaaa ai yakoona qadiqtaraba ajaluhum fa bi ayyi hadeesin ba'dahoo yu'minoon )
419. Here, the word sight either means to see with ones eyesight or to ponder with the inner sight, while dominion is the name given to that property of Genesis which is possessed by Allah Almighty alone. Thus, the kings of the world are called rulers of the world but not the owners of dominion. From this we learn that it is rewardable to study science and astronomy if the object of this is to obtain the mystical knowledge of Allah Almighty. We further learn just as it is important to perform Salaah, fasting, etc. it is equally important to ponder and reflect on the wordly phenomena as these become a means of obtaining mystical knowing of Allah Almighty Therefore Allah Almighty has mentioned this in various parts of the Holy QUR'AAN.
420. Besides the heavens and the earth Our knowledge penetrates everything in creation like the moon, the stars, vegetation, mountains, trees etc. including man.
421. From this we learn that man should think that every moment is his last moment and thus not leave any good deed for the future. Mere lengthy hope without action is indeed the negligent way of the infidels.
422. This tells us that the Holy QUR'AAN is the Final Book of Allah Almighty and the is the Final Holy Prophet Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. He who does not obtain faith from the and the Holy Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم| QUR'AAN will not get it anywhere.He who is deprived from the doors of the Holy is deprived from Prophet the House of the Almighty.

185. Do they not look in the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all things that Allah has created; and that it may be that the end of their lives is near. In what message after this will they then believe) Allah asks, those who denied faith, did they not contemplate about Our Ayat in the kingdom of the heavens and earth and what was created in them Do they not contemplate about all this and learn lessons from it, so that they are certain that He Who has all this, has no equal or rival All this was made by He Who Alone deserves the worship and sincere religion, so that they might have faith in Him and believe in His Messenger, all the while turning to Allah’s obedience, rejecting any rivals to Him, and rejecting idols. They should be warned that their lifes may have reached their end, and they, thus, face their demise while disbelievers, ending up in Allah’s torment and severe punishment. Allah said,
(In what message after this will they then believe) Allah says, what more warnings, and discouragements should compel them to believe, if the warnings and threats that Muhammad brought them from Allah in His Book do not compel them to do so Allah said next,
(7:185) Have they not observed the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and all that Allah has created[143] and that their term of life might have drawn near[144] After this warning from the Prophet, what will it be that will make them believe?
143. The word ‘companion’ here refers to the Prophet (peace be on him) who was born, brought up, grew into youth, in short, spent his whole life including his old age in their midst. Before the advent of his prophethood, Muhammad (peace be on him) was known to all the Quraysh as good natured and of sound mind. However, as he started calling people to accept the Message of God, they immediately dubbed him insane. Now it is obvious that they were not attributing insanity to him as regards his pre-prophetic life, for they had nothing evil to say about that period of his life. The charge of insanity, therefore, was levelled against the Message he began to preach when he was designated a Prophet.
The Qur’an, therefore, asks them to give serious thought to the teachings of the Prophet (peace be on him) and to see if there is anything that is inconsistent with sanity, or is meaningless and irrational. Had people reflected on the order of the universe, or carefully considered even one single creation of God, they would have been convinced of the truth of the teachings of the Prophet (peace be on him). They would have realized that whatever he said to refute polytheism, or to establish God’s unity or the accountability of man in the Hereafter, or about the necessity of man’s surrender to God, was corroborated by the entire order of the universe and every single atom of God’s creation.
144. The unbelievers, feeble-minded as they are, fail to understand that no one knows when he will die. For death overtakes man totally unawares. This being the case, what will be the end of those who waste the time at their disposal until death overtakes them and fail to find the direction to their salvation?
