67:1  Blessed is He in whose hands is all sovereignty, and He has power over all things.

67:2  He, who created death and life that He may test you [to see] which of you is best in conduct. And He is the All-mighty, the All-forgiving.

67:3  He created seven heavens in layers. You do not see any discordance in the creation of the All-beneficent. Look again! Do you see any flaw?

67:4  Look again, once more. Your look will return to you humbled and weary.

67:5  We have certainly adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and made them [the means of pelting] missiles against the devils, and We have prepared for them a punishment of the Blaze.

67:6  For those who defy their Lord is the punishment of hell, and it is an evil destination.

67:7  When they are thrown in it, they hear it blaring, as it seethes,

67:8  almost exploding with rage. Whenever a group is thrown in it, its keepers will ask them, ‘Did not any warner come to you?’

67:9  They will say, ‘Yes, a warner did come to us, but we impugned [him] and said, ‘Allah did not send down anything; you are only in great error.’

67:10  And they will say, ‘Had we listened or applied reason, we would not have been among inmates of the Blaze.’

67:11  Thus they will admit their sin. So away with the inmates of the Blaze!

67:12  Indeed for those who fear their Lord in secret there will be forgiveness and a great reward.

67:13  Speak secretly, or do so openly, indeed He knows well what is in the breasts.

67:14  Would He who has created not know? And He is the All-attentive, the All-aware.

67:15  It is He who made the earth tractable for you; so walk on its flanks and eat of His provision, and towards Him is the resurrection.

67:16  Are you secure that He who is in the sky will not make the earth swallow you while it quakes?

67:17  Are you secure that He who is in the sky will not unleash upon you a rain of stones? Soon you will know how My warning has been!

67:18  Certainly those who were before them had impugned [My apostles]; but then how was My rebuttal!

67:19  Have they not regarded the birds above them spreading and closing their wings? No one sustains them except the All-beneficent. Indeed, He watches all things.

67:20  Who is it that is your host who may help you, besides the All-beneficent? The faithless only dwell in delusion.

67:21  Who is it that may provide for you if He withholds His provision? Indeed, they persist in defiance and aversion.

67:22  Is he who walks prone on his face better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path?

67:23  Say, ‘It is He who created you, and made for you hearing, eyesight, and hearts. Little do you thank.’

67:24  Say, ‘It is He who created you on the earth, and toward Him you will be mustered.’

67:25  They say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?’

67:26  Say, ‘Its knowledge is only with Allah; I am only a manifest warner.’

67:27  When they see it brought near, the countenances of the faithless will be contorted, and [they will be] told, ‘This is what you were asking for!’

67:28  Say, ‘Tell me, whether Allah destroys me and those who are with me, or He has mercy on us, who will shelter the faithless from a painful punishment?’

67:29  Say, ‘He is the All-beneficent; we have faith in Him, and in Him do we trust. Soon you will know who is in manifest error.’

67:30  Say, ‘Tell me, should your water sink down [into the ground], who will bring you running water?’
