67:1  Blessed is the One in Whose Hands rests all authority. And He is Most Capable of everything.
67:2  ˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving.
67:3  ˹He is the One˺ Who created seven heavens, one above the other. You will never see any imperfection in the creation of the Most Compassionate. So look again: do you see any flaws?
67:4  Then look again and again—your sight will return frustrated and weary.
67:5  And indeed, We adorned the lowest heaven with ˹stars like˺ lamps, and made them ˹as missiles˺ for stoning ˹eavesdropping˺ devils, for whom We have also prepared the torment of the Blaze.
67:6  Those who disbelieve in their Lord will suffer the punishment of Hell. What an evil destination!
67:7  When they are tossed into it, they will hear its roaring as it boils over,
67:8  almost bursting in fury. Every time a group is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, “Did a warner not come to you?”
67:9  They will reply, “Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has revealed nothing. You are extremely astray.’”
67:10  And they will lament, “If only we had listened and reasoned, we would not be among the residents of the Blaze!”
67:11  And so they will confess their sins. So away with the residents of the Blaze!
67:12  Indeed, those in awe of their Lord without seeing Him will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.
67:13  Whether you speak secretly or openly—He surely knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.
67:14  How could He not know His Own creation? For He ˹alone˺ is the Most Subtle, All-Aware.
67:15  He is the One Who smoothed out the earth for you, so move about in its regions and eat from His provisions. And to Him is the resurrection ˹of all˺.
67:16  Do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up as it quakes violently?
67:17  Or do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not unleash upon you a storm of stones. Only then would you know how ˹serious˺ My warning was!
67:18  And certainly those before them denied ˹as well˺, then how severe was My response!
67:19  Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything.
67:20  Also, which ˹powerless˺ force will come to your help instead of the Most Compassionate? Indeed, the disbelievers are only ˹lost˺ in delusion.
67:21  Or who is it that will provide for you if He withholds His provision? In fact, they persist in arrogance and aversion ˹to the truth˺.
67:22  Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?
67:23  Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is the One Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks.”
67:24  ˹Also˺ say, “He is the One Who has dispersed you ˹all˺ over the earth, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be gathered.”
67:25  ˹Still˺ they ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
67:26  Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “That knowledge is with Allah alone, and I am only sent with a clear warning.”
67:27  Then when they see the torment drawing near, the faces of the disbelievers will become gloomy, and it will be said ˹to them˺, “This is what you claimed would never come.”
67:28  Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Consider this: whether Allah causes me and those with me to die or shows us mercy, who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”
67:29  Say, “He is the Most Compassionate—in Him ˹alone˺ we believe, and in Him ˹alone˺ we trust. You will soon know who is clearly astray.”
67:30  Say, “Consider this: if your water were to sink ˹into the earth˺, then who ˹else˺ could bring you flowing water?”
