Surah Al-Mulk In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;- ( Quran Surah Al-Mulk 67:1 ) 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;- ( Quran Surah Al-Mulk 67:2 ) 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? ( Quran Surah Al-Mulk 67:3 ) Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out. ( Quran 67:4 ) 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. ( Quran 67:5 ) For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such), Destination. ( Quran 67:6 ) When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth, ( Quran 67:7 ) Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, “Did no Warner come to you?” ( Quran 67:8 ) 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!’” ( Quran 67:9 ) They will further say: “Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!” ( Quran 67:10 ) They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire! ( Quran 67:11 ) As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward. ( Quran 67:12 ) And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts. ( Quran 67:13 ) Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them). ( Quran 67:14 ) 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. ( Quran 67:15 ) 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)? ( Quran 67:16 ) 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? ( Quran 67:17 ) But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)? ( Quran 67:18 ) 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. ( Quran 67:19 ) Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers. ( Quran 67:20 ) 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). ( Quran 67:21 ) Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way? ( Quran 67:22 ) 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. ( Quran 67:23 ) Say: “It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered together.” ( Quran 67:24 ) They ask: When will this promise be (fulfilled)? – If ye are telling the truth. ( Quran 67:25 ) Say: “As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public.” ( Quran 67:26 ) 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!” ( Quran 67:27 ) 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?” ( Quran 67:28 ) 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.” ( Quran 67:29 ) Say: “See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth), who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?” ( Quran 67:30 ) SHARE THIS:
