The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[67.1] Blessed
is He in Whose hand is the kingdom,
and He has power over all things,
[67.2] Who created death and
life that He may try you-- which of
you is best in deeds; and He is the
Mighty, the Forgiving,
[67.3] Who created the seven
heavens one above another; you see
no incongruity in the creation of
the Beneficent God; then look again,
can you see any disorder?
[67.4] Then turn back the eye
again and again; your look shall '~
come back to you confused while it
is fatigued.
[67.5] And certainly We have
adorned this lower heaven with (
lamps and We have made these
missiles for the Shaitans, and We
have prepared for them the
chastisement of burning.
[67.6] And for those who
disbelieve in their Lord is the
punishment of hell, and evil is the
resort.
[67.7] When they shall be
cast therein, they shall hear a loud
moaning of it as it heaves,
[67.8] Almost bursting for
fury. Whenever a group is cast into
it, its keeper shall ask them: Did
there not come to you a warner?
[67.9] They shall say: Yea!
indeed there came to us a warner,
but we rejected (him) and said:
Allah has not revealed anything, you
are only in a great error.
[67.10] And they shall say:
Had we but listened or pondered, we
should not have been among the
inmates of the burning fire.
[67.11] So they shall
acknowledge their sins, but far will
be (forgiveness) from the inmates of
the burning fire.
[67.12] (As for) those who
fear their Lord in secret, they
shall surely have forgiveness and a
great reward.
[67.13] And conceal your word
or manifest it; surely He is
Cognizant of what is in the hearts.
[67.14] Does He not know, Who
created? And He is the Knower of the
subtleties, the Aware.
[67.15] He it is Who made the
earth smooth for you, therefore go
about in the spacious sides thereof,
and eat of His sustenance, and to
Him is the return after death.
[67.16] Are you secure of
those in the heaven that He should
not make the earth to swallow you
up? Then lo! it shall be in a state
of commotion.
[67.17] Or are you secure of
those in the heaven that He should
not send down upon you a punishment?
Then shall you know how was My
warning.
[67.18] And certainly those
before them rejected (the truth),
then how was My disapproval.
[67.19] Have they not seen
the birds above them expanding
(their wings) and contracting
(them)? What is it that withholds
them save the Beneficent God? Surely
He sees everything.
[67.20] Or who is it that
will be a host for you to assist you
besides the Beneficent God? The
unbelievers are only in deception.
[67.21] Or who is it that
will give you sustenance if He
should withhold His sustenance? Nay!
they persist in disdain and
aversion.
[67.22] What! is he who goes
prone upon his face better guided or
he who walks upright upon a straight
path?
[67.23] Say: He it is Who
brought you into being and made for
you the ears and the eyes and the
hearts: little is it that you give
thanks.
[67.24] Say: He it is Who
multiplied you in the earth and to
Him you shall be gathered.
[67.25] And they say: When
shall this threat be (executed) if
you are truthful?
[67.26] Say: The knowledge
(thereof is only with Allah and I am
only a plain warner).
[67.27] But when they shall
see it nigh, the faces of those who
disbelieve shall be sorry, and it
shall be said; This is that which
you used to call for.
[67.28] Say: Have you
considered if Allah should destroy
me and those with me. Rather He will
have mercy on us; yet who will
protect the unbelievers from a
painful punishment?
[67.29] Say: He is the
Beneficent God, we believe in Him
and on Him do we rely, so you shall
come to know who it is that is in
clear error.
[67.30] Say: Have you
considered if your water should go
down, who is it then that will bring
you flowing water? |
