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?‘
67:9  Yes,‘ they will say, ‘he did come, but we disbelieved and said: "God has revealed nothing: you are but in grievous error."‘
67:10  And they will say: ‘If only we listened and understood, we should not now be among the inmates of the Conflagration.‘
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.‘
67:24  Say: ‘He it was who placed you on the earth, and to Him shall you be herded.‘
67:25  And they say: ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say be true?‘
67:26  Say: ‘God alone has knowledge of that. I am only to give a veritable warning.‘
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.‘
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?‘
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.‘
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?‘
