AL-MULK   (67)

The Kingdom

1. Blessed be He in whose hand is the kingdom, and He is powerful over everything;(1)
2. who created death and life, that He may try you which of you is fairest in works; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving,(2)
3. who created seven heavens in regions; thou dost not see any disparity in the creation of the All-merciful; return thy gaze; dost thou see any fissure?(3)
4. Return thy gaze second time; and thy gaze shall come back to thee, repelled and aweary.(4)
5. And We have adorned the nearer heaven with lamps, and made them means to stone the devils, and We have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.(5)
6. And for those who disbelieve in their Lord will be the punishment of Hell; and how evil is the destination!(6)
7. When they are cast into it, they will hear it roaring, while it boils,(7)
8. as if it would burst with fury. Whenever a troop is cast into it, its keepers ask them, `did not a warner come to you?'(8)
9. They say, `yes indeed, a warner did come to us, but we cried lies, and said, `God has not sent down anything; you are only gravely astray.'(9)
10. And they say, `if we had only listened or had understood, we would not have been among the inhabitants of the Blaze.'(10)
11. So they confess their sins; cursed be the inhabitants of the Blaze!(11)
12. Surely those who fear their Lord in the unseen, for them shall be forgiveness and a big wage.(12)
13. And be you secret in your speech or talk it aloud, He knows the thoughts in the breasts.(13)
14. Shall He who created not know? And He is the Subtle, the Aware.(14)
15. It is He who made the earth subdued to you, so walk about in its tracts, and eat of His provision; and to Him is the Uprising.(15)
16. Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not cause the earth to sink with you, while it shakes?(16)
17. Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not loose a storm of gravel against you,? Then you will know how My warning was?(17)
18. And indeed those before them also cried lies, then how was My denial?(18)
19. And have they not seen the birds above them spreading and closing their wings? Naght holds them except the All-merciful? Surely He sees everything.(19)
20. Or who is this that shall be your host, apart from the All-merciful, to help you? The unbelievers are only in delusion.(20)
21. Or who is this that shall provide for you, if He withholds His provision? No, but they persist in disdain and aversion.(21)
22. Is he who walks prone on his face better guided or he who walks upright on a straight path?(22)
23. Say, `it is He who produced you, and made for you ears, eyes and hearts; little thanks you show.'(23)
24. Say, `it is He who spread you abroad in the earth and to Him you shall be mustered'.(24)
25. And they say, `when shall this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?'(25)
26. Say, `the knowledge is only with God, and I am only a clear warner.'(26)
27. But when they see it near at hand, the faces of the unbelievers will be in distress, and it will be said, `this is what you have been calling to.'(27)
28. Say, `have you considered, if God destroys me and those that are with me, or has mercy on us, who will protect the unbelievers from a painful punishment?'(28)
29. Say, `He is the All-merciful; in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust; and you shall soon know as to who is clearly astray?'(29)
30. Say, `have you considered, if your water sinks into the earth, then who would bring you gushing spring water?'(30)
