| | M. M. Pickthall rendition of Surah The Sovereignty, Control, The Kingdom(al-Mulk)
--- |
|---|
| 67:1 | | Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things |
| 67:2 | | Who hath created life and death that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving |
| 67:3 | | Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts |
| 67:4 | | Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim |
| 67:5 | | And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame |
| 67:6 | | And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end |
| 67:7 | | When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up |
| 67:8 | | As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner |
| 67:9 | | They say: Yea, verily, a warner came unto us; but we denied and said: Allah hath naught revealed; ye are in naught but a great error |
| 67:10 | | And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames |
| 67:11 | | So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames |
| 67:12 | | Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward |
| 67:13 | | And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men) |
| 67:14 | | Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware |
| 67:15 | | He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you, so Walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. And unto Him will be the resurrection (of the dead) |
| 67:16 | | Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed |
| 67:17 | | Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of My warning |
| 67:18 | | And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them) |
| 67:19 | | Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things |
| 67:20 | | Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion |
| 67:21 | | Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness |
| 67:22 | | Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road |
| 67:23 | | Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye |
| 67:24 | | Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth, and unto Whom ye will be gathered |
| 67:25 | | And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful |
| 67:26 | | Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner |
| 67:27 | | But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call |
| 67:28 | | Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom |
| 67:29 | | Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest |
| 67:30 | | Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water |
