(This Surah is Makkan, containing 30 verses and 2 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence with, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
67:1. Most Blessed is He in Whose control is the entire Kingdom, and He is Powerful over all things.
67:2. He Who created death and life in order that you may be tested, (as to) whose deed is best amongst you; and only He is the Most Honourable, the Most Forgiving.
67:3. The One Who created the seven heavens one above the other, and what inconsistency do you see in the creation of the Most Gracious? So, lift your gaze and observe, can you see any defectiveness?
67:4. Then lift your gaze again, your gaze will return towards you exhausted, failed.
67:5. And We have indeed adorned the lower heaven with lamps (i.e. stars) and have (also) made them (as) weapons against the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blazing Fire.
67:6. And for those who disbelieved in their Lord, for them is the punishment of Hell; and what an evil outcome.
67:7. When they will be put into it, they will hear (its dreadful) ferocity as it boils.
67:8. It seems that it will explode with extreme rage; whenever a group will be put into it, its guards will ask them, ‘Did a warner not come to you?’
67:9. They will respond, ‘Why not (i.e. certainly)! Indeed, a warner did come to us; we then belied (him) and said, “Allah has not revealed anything (upon you), you are not but in great error.”
67:10. And they will say, ‘Had we listened or understood, we would not have therefore been amongst the dwellers of Hell.’
67:11. Now they acknowledged their sins; therefore, accursed be the people of Hell.
67:12. Indeed, those who fear their Lord without seeing, for them is forgiveness and a great reward.
67:13. And whether you speak softly or with a loud voice, He knows what is within the hearts.
67:14. Does He Who created not know? Only He is the One Who knows of every complexity, Aware (of everything).
67:15. It is He Who made the earth subservient to you; therefore, walk on its paths and eat from the sustenance (bestowed) by Allah; and towards only Him is resurrection.
67:16. Do you feel fearless of Him Who has authority in the heaven that He may cause the earth to swallow you, thereupon it remains trembling (like an earthquake)?
67:17. Or do you feel fearless of Him Who has authority in the heaven that He may send upon you (a storm of) stones? So, now you will come to know how (truthful) was My warning.
67:18. And those before them had indeed (also) belied, so how (dreadful) was My rejection (when I destroyed them)?
67:19. And did they not see the birds above them (sometimes) spreading out and (sometimes) folding their wings? No one except the Most Gracious holds them up (i.e. keeps them airborne); indeed, He sees everything.
67:20. Or which army of yours (is capable of) helping you against the Most Gracious? The disbelievers are in nothing but deception.
67:21. Or who is such that will provide you with sustenance if He withholds His sustenance? Rather, they have become persistent in rebellion and hatred.
67:22. So, is the one who walks with his head hanging down (not seeing from any side) more rightly guided, or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?
67:23. Say you (O Beloved), ‘It is He Who created you, and created ears, and eyes, and hearts for you; how little you acknowledge (His) right.’
67:24. Say you (O Beloved), ‘It is He Who has scattered you on the earth, and towards only Him will you be raised.’
67:25. And they (mockingly) say, ‘When will this promise (of punishment) come, if you are truthful?’
67:26. Say you (O Beloved), ‘This knowledge is with Allah, and I am purely a clear warner.’
67:27. Then, when they will see it (i.e. the punishment) close by, the faces of the disbelievers will be terrified, and it will be said to them, ‘This is what you were promised.’
67:28. Say you (O Beloved), ‘Have a look! If Allah was to either destroy me and those with me, or have mercy on us, so who is the one that will protect the disbelievers from the painful punishment?’
67:29. Say you (O Beloved), ‘Only He is the Most Gracious; we have believed in Him and relied upon only Him; so, now you will come to know who is in open error.’
67:30. ‘Have a look! If in the earth your water was to be sunk away into the earth, so who is the one that can bring back the water flowing before the eyes?! (Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.)’
