Surah Al-Ghashiyah
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Ghashiyah: a camel standing in a wide desert under a huge high sky, tall firm mountains behind it and the flat earth spreading out to the horizon
Al-Ghashiyah 88:17–20

Do they not look at the camels?

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ١٧ وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ١٨ وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ١٩ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ٢٠

The meaning, simply

Do they not look at the camels, how wonderfully they were created? And at the sky, how it was raised? And at the mountains, how they were set firm? And at the earth, how it was spread out?
