Hilali & Muhsin Khan

2 Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;

Pickthall

3 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 ?

Transliteration

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

3 Who has created the seven heavens one above another; you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

5 And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps , and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire.

7 When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,

Transliteration

7 Itha olqoo feeha samiAAoo laha shaheeqan wahiya tafooru

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

7 When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth.

8 As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner ?

Transliteration

8 Takadu tamayyazu mina alghaythi kullama olqiya feeha fawjun saalahum khazanatuha alam yatikum natheerun

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

8 It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

10 And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"

Pickthall

11 So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.

Transliteration

11 FaiAAtarafoo bithanbihim fasuhqan liashabi alssaAAeeri

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

11 Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire!

Transliteration

15 Huwa allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda thaloolan faimshoo fee manakibiha wakuloo min rizqihi wailayhi alnnushooru

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

15 He it is Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it); so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision. And to Him will be the Resurrection.

Pickthall

16 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 ?

Transliteration

16 Aamintum man fee alssamai an yakhsifa bikumu alarda faitha hiya tamooru

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

18 Walaqad kaththaba allatheena min qablihim fakayfa kana nakeeri

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

18 And indeed those before them belied (the Messengers of Allah), then how terrible was My denial (punishment)?

Pickthall

19 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.

Transliteration

19 Awalam yaraw ila alttayri fawqahum saffatin wayaqbidna ma yumsikuhunna illa alrrahmanu innahu bikulli shayin baseerun

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

19 Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Gracious (Allah). Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything.

Pickthall

20 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.
