27 Preface أَأَنتُم أَشَدُّ خَلقًا أَمِ السَّماءُ ۚ بَناهاYusuf AliWhat! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)?1 (God) hath constructed it:If man grows arrogant or forgets his accountability to God, in his ignorance or thoughtlessness, he is reminded that he is only an insignificant speck in God’s spacious Creation (Cf. 36:81). All the excellence that man acquires is the gift of God, Who had bestowed on him a high Destiny if he fulfils the purpose of his creation: 2:30-39. Then follows a nature passage, pointing to the glory of the heavens and the earth, and how they are both made to subserve the life of man.
