أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ

Afahasibtum annama khalaqnakumAAabathan waannakum ilayna la turjaAAoon

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

Did you think We created you in jest, and that to Us you would not be returned?

صَلَاةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ تَفْضُلُ صَلَاةَ الْفَذِّ بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً

Salatu-l-jama'ati tafdulu salata-l-fadhdhi bi-sab'in wa 'ishrina darajah.
