In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Al-Mulk 67:1
Blessed is the One in whose hand is dominion, and He has power over all things.
Al-Mulk 67:2
ۚ
He created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deeds. He is the Mighty, the Forgiving.
Al-Mulk 67:3
ۖ ۖ
He created seven heavens in layers. You see no discrepancy in the creation of the Entirely Merciful. Look again: do you see any cracks?
Al-Mulk 67:4
Then look again and again; your sight will return to you defeated and weary.
Al-Mulk 67:5
ۖ
We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and made them missiles against the devils. We have prepared for them the punishment of the blazing fire.
Al-Mulk 67:6
ۖ
For those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of Hell. What an evil destination!
Al-Mulk 67:7
When they are thrown into it, they hear it roaring as it boils.
Al-Mulk 67:8
ۖ
It almost bursts with rage. Whenever a group is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, “Did no warner come to you?”
Al-Mulk 67:9
They say, “Yes, a warner came to us, but we denied him and said, ‘The God has sent down nothing; you are only in great error.’”
Al-Mulk 67:10
They say, “If we had listened or reasoned, we would not be among the companions of the blazing fire.”
Al-Mulk 67:11
They acknowledge their sin. Away, then, with the companions of the blazing fire!
Al-Mulk 67:12
Those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and a great reward.
Al-Mulk 67:13
ۖ
Whether you conceal your speech or make it public, He knows what is within the breasts.
Al-Mulk 67:14
Does the One who created not know? He is the Subtle, the Aware.
Al-Mulk 67:15
ۖ
He is the One who made the earth manageable for you. Walk through its regions and eat of His provision. To Him is the resurrection.
Al-Mulk 67:16
Do you feel secure from the One in heaven causing the earth to swallow you, when suddenly it shakes?
Al-Mulk 67:17
ۖ
Or do you feel secure from the One in heaven sending a storm of stones against you? Then you will know how My warning is.
Al-Mulk 67:18
Those before them also denied. How, then, was My rebuke!
Al-Mulk 67:19
ۚ ۚ
Have they not seen the birds above them spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Entirely Merciful. He sees all things.
Al-Mulk 67:20
ۚ
What army is there for you that can help you besides the Entirely Merciful? The disbelievers are only in delusion.
Al-Mulk 67:21
ۚ
Who will provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in defiance and aversion.
Al-Mulk 67:22
Is one who walks fallen on his face better guided, or one who walks upright on a straight path?
Al-Mulk 67:23
ۖ
Say, “He is the One who brought you into being and gave you hearing, eyes, and hearts. How little you give thanks!”
Al-Mulk 67:24
Say, “He is the One who spread you through the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.”
Al-Mulk 67:25
They say, “When will this promise come, if you are truthful?”
Al-Mulk 67:26
Say, “The knowledge is only with The God. I am only a clear warner.”
Al-Mulk 67:27
When they see it close at hand, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, “This is what you were calling for.”
Al-Mulk 67:28
Say, “Tell me: whether The God destroys me and those with me or has mercy on us, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”
Al-Mulk 67:29
ۖ
Say, “He is the Entirely Merciful. We believe in Him and put our trust in Him. You will come to know who is clearly astray.”
Al-Mulk 67:30
Say, “Tell me: if your water sinks away, who will bring you flowing water?”
