Nay - who is it that has made the earth a fitting abode⁵⁵ [for living things], and has caused running waters [to flow] in its midst, and has set upon it mountains firm, and has placed a barrier between the two great bodies of water?⁵⁶ Could there be any divine power besides God? Nay, most of those [who think so] do not know [what they are saying]!
