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 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 harmony. You do not see any disorder in the creation by the Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw?

67:4  Then look again twice; your eyes will come back humiliated and tired.

67:5  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  For those who rejected their Lord will be the retribution of hell. What a miserable destiny.

67:7  When they are thrown 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 would say, "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we rejected and said, God did not reveal anything, you are being led astray."

67:10  They would say, "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 revere their Lord unseen, they have attained forgiveness and a great reward.

67:13  Whether you keep your utterances secret, or declare them, He is fully aware of what is inside the chests.

67:14  Should He not know what He created? He is the Sublime, the Ever-aware.

67:15  He is the One who made the earth subservient to 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 heaven will not cause the earth to rupture, thus causing it to shake?

67:17  Or are you secure that the One in heaven will not send upon you a violent storm? Then you will know the value of the warning.

67:18  Those before them have rejected; so how terrible was My requital!

67:19  Have they not looked to the birds above them, flapping their wings? The Gracious is the One who holds them in the air. He is Seer of all things.

67:20  Where is this army of yours to grant you victory without the Gracious? Indeed, ingrates are deceived.

67:21  Where is this one 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 with his face groveling better guided, or one who walks straight on the right path?

67:23  Say, "He is the One who initiated you, and granted you the hearing, the eyes, and the hearts. Little do you give thanks."

67:24  Say, "He is the One who placed you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered."

67:25  They say, "When will this promise come to pass, if you are being truthful?"

67:26  Say, "The knowledge is only 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 destroys me and those with me, or He bestows mercy upon us, who is there to protect ingrates from a painful retribution?"

67:29  Say, "He is the Gracious; we affirm 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?"
