➋ { بِالْحَقِّ :} The word "truth" is used in contrast to "falsehood"; here it means wisdom, that is, the creation of the heavens and the earth is based on countless wisdoms, it is not a game or a useless and futile act. See Surah Ibrahim (19, 20), Surah Sad (27), and Surah Dukhan (38, 39). First, for the proof of His oneness, He mentioned the earth and the heavens, because they are greater and dominant over most other creations. Thus, He said: «{ لَخَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ }» [ المؤمن : ۵۷ ] "Surely the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind."

Harmony in the Universe, Proof of Tawheed:
In the Quran, Allah Almighty has, in countless places, presented the creation of the earth and the heavens as proof in refutation of shirk. This means that there is harmony in every single thing in the universe. Every part and particle of the universe supports and confirms the other. Then, within the system of this universe, there are countless benefits, wisdoms, and wise purposes. And all the outcomes that are produced are constructive in nature. If there had been anyone else involved in the creation of this universe, such a system could never have come into existence, and even if, hypothetically, it had come into being, it would have immediately fallen into chaos. Thus, every single thing in the universe testifies that the Creator has no partner.
