| | Shakir rendition of Surah The Sovereignty, Control, The Kingdom(al-Mulk)
--- |
|---|
| 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 Allah; 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 Allah? Surely He sees everything |
| 67:20 | | Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent Allah? 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 Allah, 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 |
