Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 67 Aya 1 to 30
 
  1   [ 67: 1 ] Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things,
  2   [ 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,
  3   [ 67: 3 ] Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; then look again, can you see any disorder?
  4   [ 67: 4 ] Then turn back the eye again and again; your look shall' ~ come back to you confused while it is fatigued.
  5   [ 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.
  6   [ 67: 6 ] And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of hell, and evil is the resort.
  7   [ 67: 7 ] When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,
  8   [ 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?
  9   [ 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.
  10   [ 67: 10 ] And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
  11   [ 67: 11 ] So they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be ( forgiveness ) from the inmates of the burning fire.
  12   [ 67: 12 ] ( As for ) those who fear their Lord in secret, they shall surely have forgiveness and a great reward.
  13   [ 67: 13 ] And conceal your word or manifest it; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the hearts.
  14   [ 67: 14 ] Does He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware.
  15   [ 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.
  16   [ 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.
  17   [ 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.
  18   [ 67: 18 ] And certainly those before them rejected ( the truth ), then how was My disapproval.
  19   [ 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 Allah? Surely He sees everything.
  20   [ 67: 20 ] Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent Allah? The unbelievers are only in deception.
  21   [ 67: 21 ] Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain and aversion.
  22   [ 67: 22 ] What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?
  23   [ 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.
  24   [ 67: 24 ] Say: He it is Who multiplied you in the earth and to Him you shall be gathered.
  25   [ 67: 25 ] And they say: When shall this threat be ( executed ) if you are truthful?
  26   [ 67: 26 ] Say: The knowledge ( thereof is only with Allah and I am only a plain warner.
  27   [ 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.
  28   [ 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?
  29   [ 67: 29 ] Say: He is the Beneficent Allah, we believe in Him and on Him do we rely, so you shall come to know who it is that is in clear error.
  30   [ 67: 30 ] Say: Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you flowing water?
