say allah knows best how long they remained in it for only he knows all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth. how well he sees how well he hears! the creatures have no other guardian than him he allows none to share his authority.
قل الله أعلم بما لبثوا له غيب السماوات والأرض أبصر به وأسمع ما لهم من دونه من ولي ولا يشرك في حكمه أحدا
