Chapter 67, 30 verses
Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم تبارك الذي بيده الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير
Tabaraka allathee biyadihi almulku wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -
الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا ۚ وهو العزيز الغفور
Allathee khalaqa almawta waalhayata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu AAamalan wahuwa alAAazeezu alghafooru
[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?
الذي خلق سبع سماوات طباقا ۖ ما ترى في خلق الرحمن من تفاوت ۖ فارجع البصر هل ترى من فطور
Allathee khalaqa sabAAa samawatin tibaqan ma tara fee khalqi alrrahmani min tafawutin fairjiAAi albasara hal tara min futoorin
Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.
ثم ارجع البصر كرتين ينقلب إليك البصر خاسئا وهو حسير
Thumma irjiAAi albasara karratayni yanqalib ilayka albasaru khasian wahuwa haseerun
And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
ولقد زينا السماء الدنيا بمصابيح وجعلناها رجوما للشياطين ۖ وأعتدنا لهم عذاب السعير
Walaqad zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bimasabeeha wajaAAalnaha rujooman lilshshayateeni waaAAtadna lahum AAathaba alssaAAeeri
And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.
وللذين كفروا بربهم عذاب جهنم ۖ وبئس المصير
Walillatheena kafaroo birabbihim AAathabu jahannama wabisa almaseeru
When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.
إذا ألقوا فيها سمعوا لها شهيقا وهي تفور
Itha olqoo feeha samiAAoo laha shaheeqan wahiya tafooru
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?"
تكاد تميز من الغيظ ۖ كلما ألقي فيها فوج سألهم خزنتها ألم يأتكم نذير
Takadu tamayyazu mina alghaythi kullama olqiya feeha fawjun saalahum khazanatuha alam yatikum natheerun
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.'"
قالوا بلى قد جاءنا نذير فكذبنا وقلنا ما نزل الله من شيء إن أنتم إلا في ضلال كبير
Qaloo bala qad jaana natheerun fakaththabna waqulna ma nazzala Allahu min shayin in antum illa fee dalalin kabeerin
And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."
وقالوا لو كنا نسمع أو نعقل ما كنا في أصحاب السعير
Waqaloo law kunna nasmaAAu aw naAAqilu ma kunna fee ashabi alssaAAeeri
And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation for the companions of the Blaze.
فاعترفوا بذنبهم فسحقا لأصحاب السعير
FaiAAtarafoo bithanbihim fasuhqan liashabi alssaAAeeri
Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.
إن الذين يخشون ربهم بالغيب لهم مغفرة وأجر كبير
Inna allatheena yakhshawna rabbahum bialghaybi lahum maghfiratun waajrun kabeerun
And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
وأسروا قولكم أو اجهروا به ۖ إنه عليم بذات الصدور
Waasirroo qawlakum awi ijharoo bihi innahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori
Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?
ألا يعلم من خلق وهو اللطيف الخبير
Ala yaAAlamu man khalaqa wahuwa allateefu alkhabeeru
It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.
هو الذي جعل لكم الأرض ذلولا فامشوا في مناكبها وكلوا من رزقه ۖ وإليه النشور
Huwa allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda thaloolan faimshoo fee manakibiha wakuloo min rizqihi wailayhi alnnushooru
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?
أأمنتم من في السماء أن يخسف بكم الأرض فإذا هي تمور
Aamintum man fee alssamai an yakhsifa bikumu alarda faitha hiya tamooru
Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.
أم أمنتم من في السماء أن يرسل عليكم حاصبا ۖ فستعلمون كيف نذير
Am amintum man fee alssamai an yursila AAalaykum hasiban fasataAAlamoona kayfa natheeri

ولقد كذب الذين من قبلهم فكيف كان نكير
Walaqad kaththaba allatheena min qablihim fakayfa kana nakeeri
Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
أولم يروا إلى الطير فوقهم صافات ويقبضن ۚ ما يمسكهن إلا الرحمن ۚ إنه بكل شيء بصير
Awalam yaraw ila alttayri fawqahum saffatin wayaqbidna ma yumsikuhunna illa alrrahmanu innahu bikulli shayin baseerun
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.
أمن هذا الذي هو جند لكم ينصركم من دون الرحمن ۚ إن الكافرون إلا في غرور
Amman hatha allathee huwa jundun lakum yansurukum min dooni alrrahmani ini alkafiroona illa fee ghuroorin
Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.
أمن هذا الذي يرزقكم إن أمسك رزقه ۚ بل لجوا في عتو ونفور
Amman hatha allathee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjoo fee AAutuwwin wanufoorin
Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?
أفمن يمشي مكبا على وجهه أهدى أمن يمشي سويا على صراط مستقيم
Afaman yamshee mukibban AAala wajhihi ahda amman yamshee sawiyyan AAala siratin mustaqeemin
Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful."
قل هو الذي أنشأكم وجعل لكم السمع والأبصار والأفئدة ۖ قليلا ما تشكرون

قل هو الذي ذرأكم في الأرض وإليه تحشرون
Qul huwa allathee tharaakum fee alardi wailayhi tuhsharoona
And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
ويقولون متى هذا الوعد إن كنتم صادقين
Wayaqooloona mata hatha alwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeena
Say, "The knowledge is only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner."
قل إنما العلم عند الله وإنما أنا نذير مبين
Qul innama alAAilmu AAinda Allahi wainnama ana natheerun mubeenun
But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."
فلما رأوه زلفة سيئت وجوه الذين كفروا وقيل هذا الذي كنتم به تدعون
Falamma raawhu zulfatan seeat wujoohu allatheena kafaroo waqeela hatha allathee kuntum bihi taddaAAoona
Say, [O Muhammad], "Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"
قل أرأيتم إن أهلكني الله ومن معي أو رحمنا فمن يجير الكافرين من عذاب أليم
Qul araaytum in ahlakaniya Allahu waman maAAiya aw rahimana faman yujeeru alkafireena min AAathabin aleemin
Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."
