English - Chapter 67

Exalted is He who has all Sovereignty in His Hand, who has power over all things

He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving

it is He who created seven heavens in total harmony with one another. You will not see any discrepancy in the creation of the Merciful-to-all. Look again, do you see any gaps

Then look again, and again, and your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted

We have beautified the lowest heaven with lit objects and use them as tools to stone devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blazing fire

For those who reject their Lord, there is the punishment of Hell, a miserable destination

When they are thrown into it, they will hear it roaring, as it seethes

It almost bursts with rage. Every time a group is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did no one come to warn you

They will say, "Yes, someone came to warn us, but we did not believe in him and said, 'God has not sent down anything. You are in greatly misguided

They will say, "Had we listened or reasoned, we would not have been included among the inhabitants of the Blazing fire

So they will come to realize and admit their sin. Away with the inhabitants of the Blazing fire

Forgiveness and great reward await those who stand in awe of their Lord although He is beyond the reach of their perception

Whether you keep your thoughts to yourself, or state them openly, He knows what is within the heart

Would He who created not know, when He is the Most Subtle, the Totally Aware

It is He who tamed the earth for you, so travel its regions, and eat of His provision. To Him you will be resurrected

Do you feel confident that He who is in the heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you as it spins

Or are you confident that He who is in heaven would not unleash a violent storm of stones against you?Then you will know how true My warning was

Those before them had already denied my warnings, and how terrible was My condemnation

Have they not seen the birds above them, with wings outspread or folded in? None holds them except the Merciful-to-all. He is, The Ever Insightful

Or who can be a force to protect you other than the Merciful-to-all? The unbelievers are really living in delusion

Or who can provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in their disrespect and evasion

Is he who walks, stumbles and falls on his face better guided or he who walks upright on a straight path

Say, "It is He who brought you into being; and gave you hearing and vision and understanding. But you are rarely grateful

Say, "It is He who scattered you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered

And they say, "When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true

Say, "God alone has knowledge of this, and I am only delivering a clear warning

But when they see it approaching, the unbelievers' faces will turn gloomy, and it will be said, "This is what you were calling for

Say, "Just think: Should God destroy me and those with me, or if He decides to have mercy on us, who will protect the unbelievers from a painful punishment

Say, "He is the Merciful-to-all; We have believed in Him, and in Him We trust. You will come to know who is in evident error

Say, "Just think: if your water drains away, who will bring you pure flowing water
