So Allah says:</p><p>قُل لِّمَنِ الاٌّرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ</p><p>(Say: "Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein") meaning, "Who is the Owner Who has created it and whatever is in it of animals, plants, fruits and all other kinds of creation"</p><p>إِن …

Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein, if ye have knowledge?

Say: "To whom belong the earth and all beings therein? (say) if ye know!"

Say: "Whose is the earth and whosoever is therein? If you know!"

Say, “To whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, if you happen to know?”
