The question in this article is:

Have you considered the fire that you kindle? Was it you who created the tree thereof? Or were We the Creator?

We made it a reminder, for travelers, of gas (oil) production from the green organic trees and also We made it a reminder of the Eternal Hell, which is the dweller place for those which disbelieve in Allah, Muhammad and the Quran.
