67 : 1

Yusuf Ali
Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;-

67 : 2

Yusuf Ali
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;-

67 : 3

Yusuf Ali
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?

67 : 4

Yusuf Ali
Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.

67 : 5

Yusuf Ali
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.

67 : 6

Yusuf Ali
For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such), Destination.

67 : 7

Yusuf Ali
When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth,

67 : 8

Yusuf Ali
Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, "Did no Warner come to you?"

67 : 9

Yusuf Ali
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!´"

67 : 10

Yusuf Ali
They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"

67 : 11

Yusuf Ali
They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire!

67 : 12

Yusuf Ali
As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.

67 : 13

Yusuf Ali
And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.

67 : 14

Yusuf Ali
Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

67 : 15

Yusuf Ali
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.

67 : 16

Yusuf Ali
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)?

67 : 17

Yusuf Ali
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?

67 : 18

Yusuf Ali
But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)?

67 : 19

Yusuf Ali
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.

67 : 20

Yusuf Ali
Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.
