67-1 : 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.

67-2 : 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,

67-3 : 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 ?

67-4 : Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.

67-5 : 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.

67-6 : And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end!

67-7 : When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,

67-8 : As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner ?

67-9 : 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.

67-10 : And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.

67-11 : So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.

67-12 : Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward.

67-13 : And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men).

67-14 : Should He not know what He created ? And He is the Subtile, the Aware.

67-15 : 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).

67-16 : 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 ?

67-17 : 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.

67-18 : And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)!

67-19 : 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.

67-20 : 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.

67-21 : Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence ? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness.

67-22 : Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road ?

67-23 : 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!

67-24 : Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth, and unto Whom ye will be gathered.

67-25 : And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful ?

67-26 : Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner;

67-27 : 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.

67-28 : 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 ?

67-29 : 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.

67-30 : Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water ?
