When they were cast down into it, they would hear it sighing while it is boiling

They will say: Yea! A warner drew near us, but we denied him. And we said: God sent not down anything. You are not but in a great going astray

Verse 10 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:10

It is He who made the earth submissive to you, so walk in its tracts and eat of His provision. To Him is the rising

Were you safe from He Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you up when it spins

Verse 17 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:17

Were you safe from He Who is in the heavens that He will not send against you a sand storm? You will know how My warner has been right

Verse 18 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:18

And, certainly, those who were before them denied. Then, how horrible had been My reproach

Verse 19 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:19

Consider they not the birds above them ones standing in ranks and closing their wings? Nothing holds them back but The Merciful. Truly, He is Seeing of everything

Verse 20 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:20

Who is this who would be an army for you to help you other than The Merciful? Truly, ones who are ungrateful are not but in delusion

Verse 21 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:21

Or who is this who will provide for you if He held back His provision? Nay! They were resolute, turning in disdain and aversion

Verse 22 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:22

Then is whoever walks as one who is prone on his face better guided, or he who walks without fault on a straight path

Verse 23 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:23

Say: It is He who caused you to grow and assigned you the ability to hear, sight, and minds. But you give little thanks

Verse 24 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:24

Say: It is He who made you numerous on the earth and to Him you will be assembled

And they say: When is this promise if you had been ones who are sincere

Verse 26 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:26

Say: The knowledge of this is only with God and I am only a clear warner

Verse 27 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:27

But when they saw the punishment nigh, the faces were troubled of those who were ungrateful. And it will be said to them: This is what you had been calling for

Say: Considered you if God would cause me to perish and whoever is with me or had mercy on us, who will grant protection to the ones who are ungrateful from a painful punishment

Verse 29 — Surah Al-Mulk 67:29

Say: He is The Merciful. We believed in Him and in Him we put our trust. Then, you will know who he is, one who is clearly gone astray
