* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلأَرْضَ بِٱلْحقِّ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ }

Have you not seen have you not observed O you being addressed this is an interrogative meant as an affirmative that God created the heavens and the earth in truth? bi’l-haqq is semantically connected to the action of the verb khalaqa ‘created’. If He will He can take you away O mankind and bring about a new creation in your place.
