And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind any one of them. And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], “You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment. (18:46-48)
