In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم تبارك الذي بيده الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير
Chapter 67, 30 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم تبارك الذي بيده الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير
Who hath created life and death that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving,
الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا ۚ وهو العزيز الغفور
Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts ?
الذي خلق سبع سماوات طباقا ۖ ما ترى في خلق الرحمن من تفاوت ۖ فارجع البصر هل ترى من فطور
Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.
ثم ارجع البصر كرتين ينقلب إليك البصر خاسئا وهو حسير
And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame.
ولقد زينا السماء الدنيا بمصابيح وجعلناها رجوما للشياطين ۖ وأعتدنا لهم عذاب السعير
And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end!
وللذين كفروا بربهم عذاب جهنم ۖ وبئس المصير
When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,
إذا ألقوا فيها سمعوا لها شهيقا وهي تفور
As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner ?
تكاد تميز من الغيظ ۖ كلما ألقي فيها فوج سألهم خزنتها ألم يأتكم نذير
They say: Yea, verily, a warner came unto us; but we denied and said: Allah hath naught revealed; ye are in naught but a great error.
قالوا بلى قد جاءنا نذير فكذبنا وقلنا ما نزل الله من شيء إن أنتم إلا في ضلال كبير
And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.
وقالوا لو كنا نسمع أو نعقل ما كنا في أصحاب السعير
So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.
فاعترفوا بذنبهم فسحقا لأصحاب السعير
Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward.
إن الذين يخشون ربهم بالغيب لهم مغفرة وأجر كبير
And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men).
وأسروا قولكم أو اجهروا به ۖ إنه عليم بذات الصدور
Should He not know what He created ? And He is the Subtile, the Aware.
ألا يعلم من خلق وهو اللطيف الخبير
He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you, so Walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. And unto Him will be the resurrection (of the dead).
هو الذي جعل لكم الأرض ذلولا فامشوا في مناكبها وكلوا من رزقه ۖ وإليه النشور
Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed ?
أأمنتم من في السماء أن يخسف بكم الأرض فإذا هي تمور
Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane ? But ye shall know the manner of My warning.
أم أمنتم من في السماء أن يرسل عليكم حاصبا ۖ فستعلمون كيف نذير
And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)!
ولقد كذب الذين من قبلهم فكيف كان نكير
Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them ? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things.
أولم يروا إلى الطير فوقهم صافات ويقبضن ۚ ما يمسكهن إلا الرحمن ۚ إنه بكل شيء بصير
Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent ? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion.
أمن هذا الذي هو جند لكم ينصركم من دون الرحمن ۚ إن الكافرون إلا في غرور
Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence ? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness.
أمن هذا الذي يرزقكم إن أمسك رزقه ۚ بل لجوا في عتو ونفور
Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road ?
أفمن يمشي مكبا على وجهه أهدى أمن يمشي سويا على صراط مستقيم
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
قل هو الذي أنشأكم وجعل لكم السمع والأبصار والأفئدة ۖ قليلا ما تشكرون
Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth, and unto Whom ye will be gathered.
قل هو الذي ذرأكم في الأرض وإليه تحشرون
And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful ?
ويقولون متى هذا الوعد إن كنتم صادقين
Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner;
قل إنما العلم عند الله وإنما أنا نذير مبين
But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.
فلما رأوه زلفة سيئت وجوه الذين كفروا وقيل هذا الذي كنتم به تدعون
Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom ?
قل أرأيتم إن أهلكني الله ومن معي أو رحمنا فمن يجير الكافرين من عذاب أليم
Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.
قل هو الرحمن آمنا به وعليه توكلنا ۖ فستعلمون من هو في ضلال مبين
Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water ?
قل أرأيتم إن أصبح ماؤكم غورا فمن يأتيكم بماء معين
