{{Quote|{{Quran|34|9}}|See they not what is before them and behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them. Verily in this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to Allah (in repentance).}} | {{Quote|{{Quran|34|9}}|See they not what is before them and behind them, of the sky and the earth?

*EDIT* This verse can be understood to mean an earthquake (earth swallowing up) or meteorite (sky falling) - it does not necessarily allude to a literal understanding of the earth swallowing and the sky falling. Recommend either removing or providing an alternative understanding of the meaning. | |||
