67.1 . Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty , and He is Able to do all things .
67.2 . Who hath created life and death that He may try you , which of you is best in conduct ; and He is the Mighty , Forgiving ,
67.3 . Who hath created seven heavens in harmony . Thou ( Muhammad ) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One ' s creation ; then look again : Canst thou see any rifts?
67.4 . Then look again and yet again , thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim .
67.5 . And verily We have beatified the world ' s heaven with lamps , and We have made them missiles for the devils , and for them We have prepared the doom of flame .
67.6 . And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell , a hapless journey ' s end!
67.7 . When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up ,
67.8 . As it would burst with rage . Whenever a ( fresh ) host flung therein the wardens thereof ask them : Came there unto you no warner?
67.9 . They say : Yea , verily , a warner came unto us ; but we denied and said : Allah hath naught revealed ; ye are in ought but a great error .
67.10 . And they say : Had we been wont to listen or have sense , we had not been among the dwellers in the flames .
67.11 . So they acknowledge their sins ; but far removed ( from mercy ) are the dwellers in the flames .
67.12 . Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret , theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward .
67.13 . And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it , lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts ( of men ) .
67.14 . Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile , the Aware .
67.15 . He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you , so walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence . And unto Him will be the resurrection ( of the dead ) .
67.16 . Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed?
67.17 . Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of My warning .
67.18 . And verily those before them denied , then ( see ) the manner of My wrath ( with them ) !
67.19 . Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent . Lo! He is Seer of all things .
67.20 . Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion .
