﴿ فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ ﴾

“and neither sky nor earth shed tears over them, nor were they allowed a respite.”

(And the heaven) the gate of heaven (and the earth) and the place of prayer on earth (wept not for them) for Pharaoh and his folk; this is because when the believer dies the gate of heaven from which his works ascends, and the place wherein he used to pray on earth, will weep for him; Pharaoh and his folk did not have any good works to ascend to heaven nor any place of prayer on earth, (nor were they reprieved) from drowning.
