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?"

Saheeh International

3 [And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

Shakir

3 Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; then look again, can you see any disorder?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

4 Then look again and yet again: your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out.

Saheeh International

4 Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

Shakir

4 Then turn back the eye again and again; your look shall come back to you confused while it is fatigued.

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

Saheeh International

7 When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

Shakir

7 When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,

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?"

Saheeh International

8 It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

Saheeh International

9 They will say," Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

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!"

Saheeh International

10 And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."

Shakir

10 And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Saheeh International

11 And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.

Shakir

11 So they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be (forgiveness) from the inmates of the burning fire.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

12 Verily,, those who fear their Lord unseen (i.e. they do not see Him, nor His punishment in the Hereafter), theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).

16 Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake?

Saheeh International

16 Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

Shakir

18 And certainly those before them rejected (the truth), then how was My disapproval.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

Shakir

19 Have they not seen the birds above them expanding (their wings) and contracting (them)? What is it that withholds them save the Beneficent Allah? Surely He sees everything.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

20 Who is he besides the Most Gracious that can be an army to you to help you? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.

Saheeh International

20 Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.

Shakir

20 Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent Allah? The unbelievers are only in deception.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision? Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and (they) flee (from the truth).

Saheeh International

21 Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.

Shakir

21 Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain and aversion.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

22 Is he who walks prone (without seeing) on his face, more rightly guided, or he who (sees and) walks upright on the Straight Way (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)?

Saheeh International

22 Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?

Shakir

22 What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan
