In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[67.1]
Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things,
[67.2] Who
created death and life that He may try you -- which of you is best in deeds; and He is the
Mighty, the Forgiving,
[67.3] Who
created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the
Beneficent God; then look again, can you see any disorder?
[67.4] Then
turn back the eye again and again; your look shall come back to you confused while it is
fatigued.
[67.5] And
certainly We have adorned this lower heaven with lamps and We have made these missiles for
the Shaitans, and We have prepared for them the chastisement of burning.
[67.6] And
for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of hell, and evil is the resort.
[67.7] When
they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,
[67.8]
Almost bursting for fury. Whenever a group is cast into it, its keeper shall ask them: Did
there not come to you a warner?
[67.9] They
shall say: Yea! indeed there came to us a warner, but we rejected (him) and said: Allah
has not revealed anything, you are only in a great error.
[67.10] And
they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates
of the burning fire.
[67.11] So
they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be (forgiveness) from the inmates of the
burning fire.
[67.12] (As
for) those who fear their Lord in secret, they shall surely have forgiveness and a great
reward.
[67.13] And
conceal your word or manifest it; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the hearts.
[67.14] Does
He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware.
[67.15] He
it is Who made the earth smooth for you, therefore go about in the spacious sides thereof,
and eat of His sustenance, and to Him is the return after death.
[67.16] Are
you secure of those in the heaven that He should not make the earth to swallow you up?
Then lo! it shall be in a state of commotion.
[67.17] Or
are you secure of those in the heaven that He should not send down upon you a punishment?
Then shall you know how was My warning.
[67.18] And
certainly those before them rejected (the truth), then how was My disapproval.
[67.19] Have
they not seen the birds above them expanding (their wings) and contracting (them)? What is
it that withholds them save the Beneficent God? Surely He sees everything.
[67.20] Or
who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent God? The
unbelievers are only in deception.
[67.21] Or
who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they
persist in disdain and aversion.
[67.22]
What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a
straight path?
[67.23] Say:
He it is Who brought you into being and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts:
little is it that you give thanks.
[67.24] Say:
He it is Who multiplied you in the earth and to Him you shall be gathered.
[67.25] And
they say: When shall this threat be (executed) if you are truthful?
[67.26] Say:
The knowledge (thereof is only with Allah and I am only a plain warner.
[67.27] But
when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry, and it
shall be said; This is that which you used to call for.
[67.28] Say:
Have you considered if Allah should destroy me and those with me -- rather He will have
mercy on us; yet who will protect the unbelievers from a painful punishment?
[67.29] Say:
He is the Beneficent God, we believe in Him and on Him do we rely, so you shall come to
know who it is that is in clear error.
[67.30] Say:
Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you
flowing water?
