67:1
Blessed is the One in whose hand is the sovereignty. He is Capable of all things.
67:2
The One who created death and life so that He may test you as to whose work is better. He is the Dignified, the Forgiver.
67:3
The One who created seven universes in layers. You do not see any inconsistency in the creation of the Almighty. Return your sight to it: do you see any flaw?
67:4
Then return your sight twice over. Your sight will return to you humbled and exhausted.
67:5
We adorned the lowest universe with lamps and placed in it projectiles against the devils, and We prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
67:6
And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell. What a miserable destination!
67:7
When they are thrown into it, they hear from it an inhaling as it seethes.
67:8
It almost bursts with rage. Whenever a group was thrown into it, its custodians asked them, "Did not a warner come to you?"
67:9
They said, "Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, 'God did not bring down anything. You are in nothing other than great misguidance.' "
67:10
And they said, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze!"
67:11
Thus, they confessed their sins, so away with the companions of the Blaze.
67:12
Those who fear their Lord though unseen shall have forgiveness and a great reward.
67:13
Whether you keep your utterances secret or openly declare them, He is Knowledgeable of what the chests hold.
67:14
Would He not know about whom He created when He is the Gentle One, the All-Aware?
67:15
He is the One who rendered the earth subservient to you, so walk along its paths and eat from His provisions, then to Him is the resurrection.
67:16
Do you feel assured that the One who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up as it starts to sway?
67:17
Or do you feel assured that the One who is in heaven will not send upon you a shower of stones? You will know then the meaning of My warning.
67:18
And those before them have denied, so how terrible was My disapproval!
67:19
Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading out in their flight formations, then cramming close together? None binds them together except the Almighty. He is Seer of all things.
67:20
Who is that who could be a force for you to support you other than the Almighty? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.
67:21
Who is that who could provide for you if He withheld His provision? Yet they persist in insolence and aversion.
67:22
Is one who walks with his face slumped over better guided, or one who walks upright on a straight path?
67:23
Say, "He is the One who initiated you and devised for you the hearing, the sight and the hearts; little do you give thanks!"
67:24
Say, "He is the One who multiplied you in the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered."
67:25
And they say, "When will this promise come true if you are truthful?"
67:26
Say, "The knowledge is with God. I am no more than a clear warner."
67:27
When they saw it close at hand, the faces of those who disbelieved turned miserable, and it was said, "This is what you used to call for."
67:28
Say, "Have you considered: Whether God annihilates me and those with me or has mercy upon us, who is it who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"
67:29
Say, "He is the Almighty. We believe in Him, and in Him we trust, and you will surely know who is in clear misguidance."
67:30
Say, "Have you considered: If your water becomes sunken into the ground, who will provide you with flowing water?
