The Kingdom -Al-Mulk |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 67. 1 ] Blessed be He in whose Hand is the Kingdom, He is powerful over all things, |
|
2 |
|
[ 67. 2 ] who created death and life that He might examine which of you is best in deeds, and He is the Almighty, the Forgiving, |
|
3 |
|
[ 67. 3 ] who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You cannot see any inconsistency in the creation of the Merciful. Return your gaze, do you see any crack! |
|
4 |
|
[ 67. 4 ] Then return your gaze once more and yet again, your gaze comes back to you dazzled, and tired. |
|
5 |
|
[ 67. 5 ] We have adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and We made them a stoning for the satans, We have prepared the punishment of the Blaze for them. |
|
6 |
|
[ 67. 6 ] And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there awaits the punishment of Gehenna ( Hell ) an evil arrival! |
|
7 |
|
[ 67. 7 ] When they are cast into it they shall hear it sighing, while it boils |
|
8 |
|
[ 67. 8 ] nearly bursting apart out of rage. Every time a host is cast therein, its keepers will ask them: 'Did no one come to warn you?' |
|
9 |
|
[ 67. 9 ] 'Yes, indeed' they will reply, 'but we belied the Warner ( Messenger ) saying: 'Allah has not sent down anything, you are but in great error!' |
|
10 |
|
[ 67. 10 ] And they will then say: 'If only we had listened and understood we should not now be among the inhabitants of the Blaze.' |
|
11 |
|
[ 67. 11 ] So it is that they confess their sins. Curse the inhabitants of the Blaze! |
|
12 |
|
[ 67. 12 ] But those who fear their Lord in the Unseen, for them there is forgiveness and a great wage. |
|
13 |
|
[ 67. 13 ] ( Whether you ) speak in secret or aloud, He knows the innermost of the chests. |
|
14 |
|
[ 67. 14 ] Shall He who has created ( all things ) not know? He is the Subtle, the Aware. |
|
15 |
|
[ 67. 15 ] It is He who has made the earth submissive to you. Walk about in its land and eat of His provision. To Him is the Resurrection. |
|
16 |
|
[ 67. 16 ] Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up while it shakes? |
|
17 |
|
[ 67. 17 ] Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not loose against you a squall of pebbles then you shall know how was My warning. |
|
18 |
|
[ 67. 18 ] Those who have gone before you also belied ( their Messengers ) then how was My disapproval! |
|
19 |
|
[ 67. 19 ] Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them? None, except the Merciful holds them. Surely, He sees all things. |
|
20 |
|
[ 67. 20 ] Or, who is it that shall be your host to help you, other than the Merciful? Indeed, the unbelievers are only deluded. |
|
21 |
|
[ 67. 21 ] Or, who is it that shall provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in arrogance and aversion. |
|
22 |
|
[ 67. 22 ] What, is he who walks, falling upon his face, more guided than he who walks upright on a Straight Path! |
|
23 |
|
[ 67. 23 ] Say: 'It is He who has created you and given to you hearing, sight and hearts but little is it that you thank' |
|
24 |
|
[ 67. 24 ] Say: 'It was He who created you, dispersing you in the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered.' |
|
25 |
|
[ 67. 25 ] They ask: 'When will this promise come, if you speak truthfully?' |
|
26 |
|
[ 67. 26 ] Say: 'The knowledge ( of that ) is with Allah; I am only a clear warner.' |
|
27 |
|
[ 67. 27 ] Then, when they see it drawing near, the faces of the unbelievers will be blackened, and it is said: 'This is what you were promised.' |
|
28 |
|
[ 67. 28 ] Say: 'What do you think, if Allah destroys me and those with me, or has mercy upon us, who then will protect the unbelievers from the painful punishment?' |
|
29 |
|
[ 67. 29 ] Say: 'He is the Merciful. In Him we believe and in Him we put all our trust. Indeed, you shall soon know who is in clear error.' |
|
30 |
|
[ 67. 30 ] Say: 'What do you think. If your water should sink into the earth in the morning, who then would bring you running water?' |
