| | [The Monotheist Group] (2011 Edition) rendition of Surah The Sovereignty, Control, The Kingdom(al-Mulk) --- |
---|
67:1 | | Most exalted is the One in whose hands is all sovereignty, and He is capable of all things |
67:2 | | The One who created death and life, that He may test you, which of you will do better works He is the Noble, the Forgiving |
67:3 | | He created seven universes in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Almighty. Keep looking; do you see any fla |
67:4 | | Then look again twice; your eyes will come back humiliated and tired |
67:5 | | And We have adorned this universe with lamps, and We made it with projectiles against the devils; and We prepared for them the retribution of the blazing Fire |
67:6 | | And for those who rejected their Lord will be the retribution of Hell. What a miserable destiny |
67:7 | | When they are thrown therein, they hear its furor as it boils |
67:8 | | It almost explodes from rage. Whenever a group is thrown therein, its keepers would ask them: "Did you not receive a warner" |
67:9 | | They said: "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we disbelieved and said: God did not reveal anything, you are being led astray." |
67:10 | | And they said: "If we had listened or understood, we would not be among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!" |
67:11 | | Thus, they confessed their sins. So away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire |
67:12 | | As for those who reverence their Lord unseen, they have attained forgiveness and a great reward |
67:13 | | And whether you keep your utterances secret, or declare them, He is fully aware of what is inside the chests |
67:14 | | Should He not know what He created And He is the Sublime, the Expert |
67:15 | | He is the One who made the Earth subservient for you. So roam its paths, and eat from His provisions; and to Him is the final summoning |
67:16 | | Are you secure that the One in heaven will not cause the Earth to rupture, thus causing it to shak |
67:17 | | Or are you secure that the One in heaven will not send upon you a violent storm Then you will know the value of the warning |
67:18 | | And those before them have disbelieved; so how terrible was My requital |
67:19 | | Have they not looked to the birds lined-up together above them, and they launch The Almighty is the One who holds them in the air. He is Seer of all things |
67:20 | | Where is this army of yours to grant you victory without the Almighty Indeed, the disbelievers are deceived |
67:21 | | Where is this who can give you provisions if He holds back His provisions Indeed, they have plunged deep into transgression and aversion |
67:22 | | Is one who walks while his face is slumped better guided, or one who walks straight on the right pat |
67:23 | | Say: "He is the One who initiated you, and made for you the hearing, the eyes, and the hearts. Little do you give thanks." |
67:24 | | Say: "He is the One who placed you on Earth, and to Him you will be gathered." |
67:25 | | And they Say: "When will this promise come to pass, if you are being truthful" |
67:26 | | Say: "The knowledge is only with God, and I am but a clear warner." |
67:27 | | So when they see it near, the faces of those who rejected will turn miserable, and it will be proclaimed: "This is what you had called for!." |
67:28 | | Say: "Do you see If God annihilates me and those with me, or He bestows mercy upon us, who is there to protect the disbelievers from a painful retribution" |
67:29 | | Say: "He is the Almighty; we believe in Him, and we put our trust in Him. You will come to find out who is clearly astray." |
67:30 | | Say: "What if your water becomes deep underground, who then can provide you with pure water" |
