English - Chapter 67 - Al-Mulk

Blessed be He in whose hand is the kingdom, for He is mighty over all

Who created death and life, to try you, which of you does best; for He is the mighty, the forgiving

Who created seven heavens in stories; thou canst not see any discordance in the creation of the Merciful

Why, look again! canst thou see a flaw? Then look again twice!- thy look shall return to thee driven back and dulled

And we have adorned the lower heaven with lamps; and set them to pelt the devils with; and we have prepared for them the torment of the blaze

And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the torment of hell, and an evil journey shall it be

When they shall be cast therein they shall hear its braying as it boils

it will well-nigh burst for rage! Whenever a troop of them is thrown in, its treasurers shall ask them, 'Did not a warner come to you

They shall say, 'Yea! a warner came to us, and we called him liar, and said, "God has not sent down aught; ye are but in great error

And they shall say, 'Had we but listened or had sense we had not been amongst the fellows of the blaze

And they will confess their sins; but 'Avaunt to the fellows of the blaze

Verily, those who fear their Lord in secret, for them is forgiveness and a great hire

Speak ye secretly or openly, verily, He knows the nature of men's breasts

Ay! He knows who created! for He is the subtle, the well-aware

He it is who made the earth flat for you; so walk in the spacious sides thereof and eat of His provision; for unto Him the resurrection is

Are ye sure that He who is in the heaven will not cleave the earth with you, and that it then shall quake

Or are ye sure that He who is in the heaven will not send against you a heavy sand storm, and that ye then shall know how the warning was

But those before them did call the apostles liars, and what a change it was

Or have they not looked at the birds above them expanding their wings or closing them? - none holds them in except the Merciful One; for He on everything doth look

Or who is this who will be a host for you, to help you against the Merciful?- the misbelievers are only in delusion

Or who is this who will provide you if He hold back His provision? - Nay, but they persist in perverseness and aversion

Is he who walks prone upon his face more guided than he who walks upright upon a straight path

Say, 'It is He who produced you and made for you hearing and sight and hearts' - little is it that ye give thanks

Say, 'It is He who sowed you in the earth, and unto Him shall ye be gathered

They say, 'When shall this threat be, if ye do speak the truth

Say, 'The knowledge is only with God; and I am but a plain warner

And when they see it nigh, sorry shall be the faces of those who misbelieve; and it shall be said, 'This is that for which ye used to call

Say, 'Have ye considered, whether God destroy me and those with me, or whether we obtain mercy, yet who will protect the misbelievers from grievous torment

Say, 'He is the Merciful; we believe in Him, and upon Him do we rely; and ye shall shortly know who it is that is in obvious error

Say, 'Have ye considered if your waters on the morrow should have sunk, who is to bring you flowing water
