- 67:1
- BLESSED BE He who in His hand holds sovereignty: He has power over all things
- 67:2
- who created death and life that He might put you to the proof as to which of you acquitted themselves best. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving One
- 67:3
- who created seven heavens, one above the other. You will not see a flaw in the Merciful‘s creation; turn up your eyes: can you detect a single crack
- 67:4
- Then look once more and yet again: your eyes will in the end grow dim and weary
- 67:5
- We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, missiles to pelt the demons with. For these We have prepared the torment of the Conflagration
- 67:6
- and for those who deny their Lord the scourge of Hell: a wretched fate
- 67:7
- When they are flung therein, they shall hear it roaring and seething, as though bursting with rage
- 67:8
- Every time a multitude is thrown in, its keepers will ask them: ‘Did no one come to warn you?&lsquo
- 67:9
- Yes,‘ they will say, ‘he did come, but we disbelieved and said: "God has revealed nothing: you are but in grievous error."&lsquo
- 67:10
- And they will say: ‘If only we listened and understood, we should not now be among the inmates of the Conflagration.&lsquo
- 67:11
- Thus shall they confess their sin. Cursed be the inmates of the Conflagration
- 67:12
- But those that fear their Lord although unseen shall be forgiven and richly recompensed
- 67:13
- Whether you speak in private or aloud, He surely knows your innermost thoughts
- 67:14
- Shall He who has created all, not know them all? Gracious is He and all-knowing
- 67:15
- He it is who has made the earth subservient to you. Walk about its regions and eat of His provisions. To Him shall all return at the Resurrection
- 67:16
- Are you confident that He who is in heaven will not cause the earth to cave in beneath you, so that it will shake to pieces
- 67:17
- Are you confident that He who is in heaven will not let loose on you a sandy whirlwind? You will surely learn then what My warning was like
- 67:18
- Those who have gone before them likewise disbelieved: but how grievous was the way I rejected them
- 67:19
- Do they not see the birds above their heads, spreading their wings and folding them? None save the Merciful sustains them. He surely observes all things
- 67:20
- Who is it that will defend you like an army, if not the Merciful? Truly, the unbelievers are in error
- 67:21
- Who will provide for you if He withholds His sustenance? Yet they persist in arrogance and in rebellion
- 67:22
- Is he that goes grovelling on his face more rightly guided than he that walks upright upon a straight path
- 67:23
- Say: ‘He it was who brought you into being, and gave you ears and eyes and hearts. Yet you are seldom thankful.&lsquo
- 67:24
- Say: ‘He it was who placed you on the earth, and to Him shall you be herded.&lsquo
- 67:25
- And they say: ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say be true?&lsquo
- 67:26
- Say: ‘God alone has knowledge of that. I am only to give a veritable warning.&lsquo
- 67:27
- But when they see it drawing near, the unbelievers‘ faces will be contorted with woe, and a voice will say: ‘This is the doom which you have challenged.&lsquo
- 67:28
- Say: ‘Consider: whether God destroys me and all my followers or has mercy upon us, who will protect the unbelievers from a woeful scourge?&lsquo
- 67:29
- Say: ‘He is the Lord of Mercy: in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. You shall soon learn who is in evident error.&lsquo
- 67:30
- Say: ‘Consider: if all the water that you have were to sink down into the earth, who would give you running water in its place?&lsquo
