--- |
|---|
| 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 has 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 heavens in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Almighty. Keep looking; do you see any flaw |
| 67:4 | | Then look again twice; your eyes will come back humiliated and tired |
| 67:5 | | And We have adorned the lower heaven 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 cast 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 are concerned towards their Lord while 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 in 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 the heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you when it shakes |
| 67:17 | | Or are you secure that the One in the 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 contract? It is the Almighty who holds them. 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 path |
| 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 the 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 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 rejecters 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?" |
