تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ {1}
[Shakir 67:1] Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things,
[Pickthal 67:1] Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things.
[Yusufali 67:1] Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;-
الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًاۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ {2}
[Shakir 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,
[Pickthal 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, the Forgiving,
[Yusufali 67:2] He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving;-
الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِنْ فُطُورٍ {3}
[Shakir 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?
[Pickthal 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?
[Yusufali 67:3] He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?
ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ {4}
[Shakir 67:4] Then turn back the eye again and again; your look shall come back to you confused while it is fatigued.
[Pickthal 67:4] Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.
[Yusufali 67:4] Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ {5}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 67:5] And verily We have beautified 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.
[Yusufali 67:5] And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ {6}
[Shakir 67:6] And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of hell, and evil is the resort.
[Pickthal 67:6] And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end!
[Yusufali 67:6] For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such), Destination.
إِذَا أُلْقُوا فِيهَا سَمِعُوا لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ {7}
[Shakir 67:7] When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,
[Pickthal 67:7] When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,
[Yusufali 67:7] When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth,
تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ كُلَّمَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ {8}
[Shakir 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?
[Pickthal 67:8] As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner?
[Yusufali 67:8] Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, "Did no Warner come to you?"
قَالُوا بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَاءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ كَبِيرٍ {9}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 67:9] They say: Yea, verily, a warner came unto us; but we denied and said: Allah hath naught revealed; ye are in naught but a great error.
[Yusufali 67:9] They will say: "Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, 'Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are nothing but an egregious delusion!'"
وَقَالُوا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ {10}
[Shakir 67:10] And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
[Pickthal 67:10] And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.
[Yusufali 67:10] They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"
فَاعْتَرَفُوا بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِأَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ {11}
[Shakir 67:11] So they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be (forgiveness) from the inmates of the burning fire.
[Pickthal 67:11] So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.
[Yusufali 67:11] They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire!
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ {12}
[Shakir 67:12] (As for) those who fear their Lord in secret, they shall surely have forgiveness and a great reward.
[Pickthal 67:12] Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward.
[Yusufali 67:12] As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.
وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ {13}
[Shakir 67:13] And conceal your word or manifest it; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the hearts.
[Pickthal 67:13] And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men).
[Yusufali 67:13] And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ {14}
[Shakir 67:14] Does He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware.
[Pickthal 67:14] Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware.
[Yusufali 67:14] Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).
هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ {15}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 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).
[Yusufali 67:15] It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you, so traverse ye through its tracts and enjoy of the Sustenance which He furnishes: but unto Him is the Resurrection.
أَأَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ {16}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 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?
[Yusufali 67:16] Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?
أَمْ أَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ {17}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 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.
[Yusufali 67:17] Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ {18}
[Shakir 67:18] And certainly those before them rejected (the truth), then how was My disapproval.
[Pickthal 67:18] And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)!
[Yusufali 67:18] But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَافَّاتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَٰنُۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ {19}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 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.
[Yusufali 67:19] Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.
أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمَٰنِۚ إِنِ الْكَافِرُونَ إِلَّا فِي غُرُورٍ {20}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 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.
[Yusufali 67:20] Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.
أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۚ بَلْ لَجُّوا فِي عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ {21}
[Shakir 67:21] Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain and aversion.
[Pickthal 67:21] Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness.
[Yusufali 67:21] Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).
أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ {22}
[Shakir 67:22] What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?
[Pickthal 67:22] Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road?
[Yusufali 67:22] Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?
قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ {23}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 67:23] Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
[Yusufali 67:23] Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.
قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ {24}
[Shakir 67:24] Say: He it is Who multiplied you in the earth and to Him you shall be gathered.

[Yusufali 67:24] Say: "It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered together."
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ {25}
[Shakir 67:25] And they say: When shall this threat be (executed) if you are truthful?
[Pickthal 67:25] And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?
[Yusufali 67:25] They ask: When will this promise be (fulfilled)? - If ye are telling the truth.
قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ {26}
[Shakir 67:26] Say: The knowledge (thereof is only with Allah and I am only a plain warner.
[Pickthal 67:26] Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner;
[Yusufali 67:26] Say: "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public."
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ {27}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 67:27] But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.
[Yusufali 67:27] At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise fulfilled), which ye were calling for!"
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَنْ يُجِيرُ الْكَافِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ {28}
[Shakir 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?
[Pickthal 67:28] Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?
[Yusufali 67:28] Say: "See ye?- If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"
قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ آمَنَّا بِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ {29}
[Shakir 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.
[Pickthal 67:29] Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.
[Yusufali 67:29] Say: "He is (Allah) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error."
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَاؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَاءٍ مَعِينٍ {30}
[Shakir 67:30] Say: Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you flowing water?
[Pickthal 67:30] Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water?
[Yusufali 67:30] Say: "See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth), who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?"
