[quote]<p align=justify>The verse is not talking about the soul of a person; it talks about the worldly things, which we behold in awe on this earth. The preceeding verses allude to many manifestations of God's providence and wisdom; these exhort men that they should not be deluded away by the illusive notion that this entire magnificent set up has come into being all by itself; everything on the face of earth bears testimony to the undeniable fact that God Almighty created them. The implication of this verse seems to me: [i]Look how magnificent this all is!  It was meant to disclose higher realities of life to you! But, alas, you are obsessed with it when this is not going to last; it will all perish and you will be brought to account. [/i]How ignorant man is!

<p align=justify>Going a little ahead, we find that the Holy Qur'an is talking about the Day of Judgment and it is saying that the deceived and the arrogant will be known by their marks, and will he taken by the forelocks and put into the frightening pit of hellfire.

<p align=justify>In summary, the verse is taking about the destruction that is bound to take place before the Day of Judgment; when everything will be annihilated save the Lord--the Creator and the Cherisher. Then man will be resurrected to account.
