John Medows Rodwell rendition of Surah The Sovereignty, Control, The Kingdom(al-Mulk)
---
67:1 BLESSED be He is whose hand is the KINGDOM! and over all things is He potent
67:2 Who hath created death and life to prove which of you will be most righteous in deed; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving
67:3 Who hath created seven Heavens one above another: No defect canst thou see in the creation of the God of Mercy: Repeat the gaze: seest thou a single flaw
67:4 Then twice more repeat the gaze: thy gaze shall return to thee dulled and weary
67:5 Moreover we have decked the lowest heaven with lights, and have placed them there to be hurled at the Satans, for whom we have prepared the torment of the flaming fire
67:6 And for those who believe not in their Lord is the torment of Hell; and horrid the journey thither
67:7 When they shall be thrown into it, they shall hear it braying: and it shall boil
67:8 Almost shall it burst for fury. So oft as a crowd shall be thrown into it, its keepers shall ask them, "Came not the warner to you?"
67:9 They shall say, Yes! there came to us one charged with warnings; but we treated him as a liar, and said, "Nothing hath God sent down: ye are in nothing but a vast delusion."
67:10 And they shall say, "Had we but hearkened or understood, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames;"
67:11 And their sin shall they acknowledge: but, "Avaunt, ye dwellers in the flame."
67:12 But pardon and a great reward for those who fear their Lord in secret
67:13 Be your converse hidden or open, He truly knoweth the inmost recess of your breasts
67:14 What! shall He not know who hath created? for He is the Subtil, the Cognizant
67:15 It is He who hath made the earth level for you: traverse then its broad sides, and eat of what He hath provided. - Unto Him shall be the resurrection
67:16 What! are ye sure that He who is in Heaven will not cleave the Earth beneath you? And lo, it shall quake
67:17 Or are ye sure that He who is in Heaven will not send against you a stone-charged whirlwind? Then shall ye know what my warning meant
67:18 And verily, those who flourish before you treated their prophets as liars: and how grievous my wrath
67:19 Behold they not the birds over their heads, outstretching and drawing in their wings? None, save the God of Mercy, upholdeth them: for he regardeth all things
67:20 Who is he that can be as an army to you, to succour you, except the God of Mercy? Truly, the infidels are in the merest delusion
67:21 Or who is he that will furnish you supplies, if He withhold His supplies? Yet do they persist in pride and in fleeing from Him
67:22 Is he who goeth along grovelling on his face, better guided than he who goeth upright on a straight path
67:23 SAY: It is He who hath brought you forth, and gifted you with hearing and sight and heart: yet how few are grateful
67:24 SAY: It is He who hath sown you in the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered
67:25 And they say, "When shall this threat be put in force, if ye speak the truth?"
67:26 SAY: Nay truly, this knowledge is with God alone: and I am only an open warner
67:27 But when they shall see it nigh, sad shall wax the countenances of the infidels: and it shall be said, "This is what ye have been calling for."
67:28 SAY: What think ye? Whether God destroy me or not, and those who follow me, or whether he have mercy on us, yet who will protect the infidels from a woeful torment
67:29 SAY: He is the God of Mercy: in Him do we believe, and in Him put we our trust; and ye shall know hereafter who is in a manifest error
67:30 SAY: What think ye? If at early morn your waters shall have sunk away, who then will give you clear running water
