After Allah mentioned the disparity between the states of the wretched and the fortunate in the afterlife, He directed the sight of the disbelievers to what will show them the power of the Creator and the beauty of His creation, so that they can use this as evidence for faith in order to enter Paradise and become of the fortunate, by saying: Do they not look with reflection at the camels, how Allah created them and subjugated them to human beings?!
Do they not reflect on the camel, how it is created;
Do they not look at the camels, how they are created?
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-
Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?
Will they then not look at the camels, how they have been created,
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمًا وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا
They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.
يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ
They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا …
They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin - …
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ
Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ …
And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed. …
