--- |
|---|
| 67:1 | | Blessed is He in Whose Hand lies sovereignty, and He is Powerful over all things |
| 67:2 | | Who created death and life that He may try you as to which of you is most virtuous in deed, and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving |
| 67:3 | | Who created seven heavens one upon another; no disproportion dost thou see in the Merciful’s creation. Cast thy sight again; dost thou see any flaw |
| 67:4 | | Then cast thy sight twice again; thy sight will return to thee humbled and wearied |
| 67:5 | | Truly We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and made them missiles against the satans; and We have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze |
| 67:6 | | And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of Hell. What an evil journey’s end |
| 67:7 | | When they are cast therein, they will hear it blaring as it boils over |
| 67:8 | | well-nigh bursting with rage. Whenever a group is cast therein, its keepers ask them, “Did not a warner come unto you? |
| 67:9 | | They say, “Indeed, a warner came unto us, but we denied him and said, ‘God did not send anything down; you are in naught but great error.’ |
| 67:10 | | They say, “Had we listened or had we understood, we would not be among the inhabitants of the Blaze. |
| 67:11 | | Thus do they admit their sin; so away with the inhabitants of the Blaze |
| 67:12 | | Truly for those who fear their Lord unseen there shall be forgiveness and a great reward |
| 67:13 | | Keep your speech secret or proclaim it; truly He knows what lies within breasts |
| 67:14 | | Does He Who created not know? He is the Subtle, the Aware |
| 67:15 | | He is the One Who made the earth tractable for you; so travel the open roads thereof and eat of His provision. And unto Him is the Resurrection |
| 67:16 | | Do you feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not cause the earth to engulf you while it churns |
| 67:17 | | Or do you feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not unleash a torrent of stones upon you? Soon shall you know how My warning is |
| 67:18 | | And indeed those before them denied. How, then, was the change I wrought |
| 67:19 | | Have they not considered the birds above them, spreading and folding up [their wings]? None holds them save the Compassionate. Truly He sees all things |
| 67:20 | | Who is it that will be a host for you, who may help you, apart from the Compassionate? The disbelievers are in naught but delusion |
| 67:21 | | Who is it that will provide for you if He withholds His provision? Nay, but they persist in insolence and aversion |
| 67:22 | | Is one who walks with his face stooped down more guided, or one who walks upright upon a straight path |
| 67:23 | | Say, “He it is Who brought you into being and endowed you with hearing, sight, and hearts. Little do you give thanks! |
| 67:24 | | Say, “He it is Who multiplied you upon the earth, and unto Him shall you be gathered. |
| 67:25 | | And they say, “When will this promise come to pass, if you are truthful? |
| 67:26 | | Say, “Knowledge lies with God alone, and I am only a clear warner. |
| 67:27 | | And when they see it close at hand, the faces of those who disbelieved shall be stricken, and it shall be said, “This is that for which you called. |
| 67:28 | | Say, “Have you considered whether God destroys me and those with me or has mercy upon us? Who will protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment? |
| 67:29 | | Say, “He is the Compassionate; we believe in Him and trust in Him, and you will soon know who is in manifest error. |
| 67:30 | | Say, “Have you considered? Were your water to vanish into the ground, then who would bring you flowing water? |
