وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideAd-Dukhan is Meccan, dated to the late Meccan period. Reports place it in the context of the severe famine that struck Mecca amid the Quraysh's persistent denial; the phrase 'a manifest smoke' has been explained either as that famine or as a sign preceding the Last Hour, with scholars differing.
