We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them otherwise than in accordance with [an inner] truth, and for a term set [by Us]:2 and yet, they who are bent on denying the truth turn aside from the warnlng which has been conveyed unto them.3
Asad Translation Note Number :
Regarding the expression "in accordance with [an inner] truth", see note [11] on 10:5 . The reference to the "term" set by God to all creation is meant to stress the fact of its finality in time as well as in space, in contrast with His Own timelessness and infinity.
Lit., "from that whereof they have been warned": i.e., they refuse to heed the warning not to attribute divine qualities to any being or force beside God.
Malik Quran Translation

Yusuf Ali Translation Note Number :
Cf. xlv. 22. Many things may appear to us in the present world as strange and inexplicable. But everything made by Allah has a just purpose which must be fulfilled. Nothing in this world is permanent: everything is for an appointed term. The Word of Allah alone abides. All else will pass away after it has fulfilled its purpose. But Unbelievers refuse to face the danger of which they are warned.
Mustafa Khattab Quran Translation
