79. And He is the One who spread you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered [80].

[80] That is, He created you from a single soul and then spread you across the entire face of the earth, and this process of spreading will continue until the Day of Judgment. Now, the Being who can spread you out can also gather you together before Himself, and can hold you accountable for whatever you have done in this world.
