﴿خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ﴾
[ التغابن: 3]

64:3 He created the heavens and earth in truth and formed you and perfected your forms; and to Him is the [final] destination.

He created the heavens and the earth with the truth and He shaped you and made your shapes excellent for He made the human form to be the best of forms; and to Him is the journey’s end.

He created the heavens and the earth with equity and wisdom, and gave you form and shape and how shapely He fashioned you, then back to Him is the end and the purpose for which you are destined

Which was revealed in Al-Madinah or Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praising Allah and mentioning His Creation and Knowledge This is the last Surah among Al-Musabbihat.
We mentioned before that all creatures praise the glory of Allah, their Creator and Owner.
Allah the Exalted said, لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ( His is the dominion, and to Him belongs the praise, ) meaning, He is the One Who has control over all creation, the One praised for all He created and decreed.
Allah's statement, وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ( and He is Able to do all things. ) means that whatever He wills occurs without resistance, and whatever He does not will, never occurs.
Allah said, هُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمِنكُمْ مُّؤْمِنٌ ( He it is Who created you, then some of you are disbelievers and some of you are believers. ) meaning, Allah created you with these characteristics and He willed that for you.
Therefore, there will be believers and disbelievers.
Surely, Allah is the One Who sees those who deserve guidance and those who deserve misguidance.
He is the Witness over His servant's deeds and He will completely recompense them.
This is why Allah the Exalted said, وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ( And Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
) Allah said, خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحقِّ ( He has created the heavens and the earth with truth, ) with equity and wisdom, وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ ( and He shaped you and made good your shapes. ) He made you in the best shapes and forms.
Allah the Exalted said, يأَيُّهَا الإِنسَـنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ - الَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ - فِى أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ( O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the most Generous Who created you, fashioned you perfectly and gave you due proportion; in whatever form He willed, He put you together. ) ( 82:6-8 ) And His saying, اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَـلَ لَكُـمُ الاٌّرْضَ قَـرَاراً وَالسَّمَآءَ بِنَـآءً وَصَوَّرَكُـمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُـمْ وَرَزَقَكُـمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَـتِ ( Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking ) and has provided you with good things.) ( 40:64 ) and His saying; وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ ( And to Him is the return. ) means the return and final destination.
Allah then informs of His knowledge of all that there is in the heavens, in the earth and in the souls, He said: يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمُ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ ( He knows what is in the heavens and on earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
And Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts. )

(64:3) He created the heavens and the earth with Truth and shaped you, giving you excellent shapes. And to Him is your ultimate return. *7

He created the heavens and earth in meaning

*7) In this verse three things have been stated in their sequence, which are well connected logically:
First, it has been said that AIlah has created this universe with the tnrth.
When the word " with the truth " is spoken for a news, it means a true news; when it is spoken for a command, it means a command based on justice; when it is spoken for a statement, it means a correct statement; and when it is used for an act, it implies an act which is wise, reasonable and useful.
Now, khalq ( to create ) is an act; therefore, to say that the universe has been created with the truth, would inevitably mean that the universe has not been created for fun but it is a serious work of a Wise Creator: everything in it has a rational object and purpose, and the element of its being purposeful is so evident that if a sensible person understands the nature of a thing well, it cannot be difficult for him to know the rational and wise purpose for which it has been created.
All of modern science testifies that whenever man has succeeded in understanding the true nature of a thing by careful thought, research and investigation, he has also come to know eventually the purpose and object of its creation, and this understanding of its purpose has led him to countless inventions which are now being used in civilized human life.
This could not be possible, had this universe been the plaything of a carefree person, devoid of any wisdom and purpose.
( For further explanation, see E.N.

6 of Ar-Rum, E.N.
34 of Ad-Dukhan, B.N.
28 of AI-Jathiyah ).

Secondly, it has been said that in this universe Allah has created man in the best shape.
Shape here does not imply only man's fact but his whole bodily structure; it also inclusions all those powers and abilities which man has been granted to function in this world.In both these aspects man has been given the best shape and form among the creatures of the earth, and on the same basis he has become worthy to rule over aII the universe.
He has been given an erect stature he has been given most appropriate feet to walk on; he has given most suitable hands to work with; he has been given such senses and organs to acquire knowledge by which he obtains every kind of information; he has been given a powerful mind to think and understand and deduce results from the body of acquired information; he has been given a moral sense and a power of discrimination by which he distinguishes between good and evil, right and wrong; he has been given the power of decision by using which he selects his own course of action, and decides as to where he should employ his efforts and where he should not.
He has even been given the freedom that he may acknowledge his ( 'rector and serve Him if he so likes and reject Him if he pleases, or may make whomever he likes his gods, or rebel even against Him Whom he regards as his God.
Along with all these capabilities and powers Allah has granted him the authority to appropriate everything created by Him, and he is practically using this authority in the world.
(For further explanation, see E.N.
91 of Al-Mu'min ).

The third thing which logically follows from the first two.
as explained above has been stated in the third sentence of the verse " To Him you have to return in the end.' Obviously, when a creature endowed with power and authority has been created in a wise and purposeful system of the universe, wisdom dces not require that he should be left to live irresponsibly in the world, but it necessarily requires that that creature should be accountable to the Being Who has granted it this position and rank and blessed it with these powers; 'Returning " in this verse dces not merelu mean to return but to return for accountability.
In the following verses it has been explained that this return will not be in this life but into the second life after death, and its right time will he when all mankind will be resurrected and gathered together simultaneously for accountability, and in consequence of the accountability man will be rewarded or punished on the ground whether he had used the powers given him by God in the right way or the wrong way.
As for the question, why cannot this accountability be held in the present lift of the world? and why is its right time only the second lift after death'? and why is it necessary that this accountability be held only when all mankind has passed away from this world, and aII the former and the latter generations have been resurrected and gathered together simultaneously? If man only uses his common sense a little, he can understand that all this is perfectly rational as well as the very demand of wisdom and reason that accountability should be held in the second lift and of all mankind together.
The first reason is that man is accountable for his whole life-work.
Therefore, the right time of his accountability should necessarily be when his life-work has come to an end.
The sccond reason is that man is responsible for alI those effects and influences which he produces by his acts on the lives of others, and those influences and effects do not come to an end with his death but continue to influence others till ages after him Therefore, true accountability call he held only when the life-work of entire mankind has come to an end and aII the former and the latter generations are gathered together simultaneously for accountability.

Which was revealed in Al-Madinah or Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praising Allah and mentioning His Creation and Knowledge This is the last Surah among Al-Musabbihat.
We mentioned before that all creatures praise the glory of Allah, their Creator and Owner.
Allah the Exalted said, لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ( His is the dominion, and to Him belongs the praise, ) meaning, He is the One Who has control over all creation, the One praised for all He created and decreed.
Allah's statement, وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ( and He is Able to do all things. ) means that whatever He wills occurs without resistance, and whatever He does not will, never occurs.
Allah said, هُوَ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمِنكُمْ مُّؤْمِنٌ ( He it is Who created you, then some of you are disbelievers and some of you are believers. ) meaning, Allah created you with these characteristics and He willed that for you.
Therefore, there will be believers and disbelievers.
Surely, Allah is the One Who sees those who deserve guidance and those who deserve misguidance.
He is the Witness over His servant's deeds and He will completely recompense them.
This is why Allah the Exalted said, وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ( And Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
) Allah said, خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحقِّ ( He has created the heavens and the earth with truth, ) with equity and wisdom, وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ ( and He shaped you and made good your shapes. ) He made you in the best shapes and forms.
Allah the Exalted said, يأَيُّهَا الإِنسَـنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ - الَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ - فِى أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ( O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the most Generous Who created you, fashioned you perfectly and gave you due proportion; in whatever form He willed, He put you together. ) ( 82:6-8 ) And His saying, اللَّهُ الَّذِى جَعَـلَ لَكُـمُ الاٌّرْضَ قَـرَاراً وَالسَّمَآءَ بِنَـآءً وَصَوَّرَكُـمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُـمْ وَرَزَقَكُـمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَـتِ ( Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking ) and has provided you with good things.) ( 40:64 ) and His saying; وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ ( And to Him is the return. ) means the return and final destination.
Allah then informs of His knowledge of all that there is in the heavens, in the earth and in the souls, He said: يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمُ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ ( He knows what is in the heavens and on earth, and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.
And Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts. )

( He created the heavens and the earth with truth ) in order to explain the Truth and falsehood; and it is also said this means: He created the heavens and the earth and they are both destined to vanish and be annihilated, ( and He shaped you ) in the wombs ( and made good your shapes ) better than the shapes of beasts; and it is also said this means: He made your shapes seemly by giving you two hands, two feet, two eyes, two ears and all the other members, ( and unto Him is the journeying ) and unto Him is the return after death.

He has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He shaped you and made good your shapes, and to Him is the final Return.
