The One Who
خَلَقَ
created
ٱلۡمَوۡتَ
death
وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ
and life
لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ
that He may test you

ٱلَّذِى
The One Who
خَلَقَ
created
سَبۡعَ
seven
سَمَـٰوٰتٍ
heavens
طِبَاقًا‌ۖ
one above another
مَّا
Not
تَرَىٰ
you see
فِى
in
خَلۡقِ
(the) creation
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ
(of) the Most Gracious
مِن
any
تَفَـٰوُتٍ‌ۖ
fault
فَٱرۡجِعِ
So return
ٱلۡبَصَرَ
the vision
هَلۡ
can
تَرَىٰ
you see
مِن
any
فُطُورٍ
flaw
٣
[And] who created seven heavens in layers.1 You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?
67:4
ثُمَّ
Then
ٱرۡجِعِ
return
ٱلۡبَصَرَ
the vision
كَرَّتَيۡنِ
twice (again)
يَنقَلِبۡ
Will return
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
ٱلۡبَصَرُ
the vision
خَاسِئًا
humbled
وَهُوَ
while it
حَسِيرٌ
(is) fatigued
٤
Then return [your] vision twice again.1 [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.
67:5
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
زَيَّنَّا
We have beautified
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
the heaven
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
nearest
بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ
with lamps
وَجَعَلۡنَـٰهَا
and We have made them
رُجُومًا
(as) missiles
لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ‌ۖ
for the devils
وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا
and We have prepared
لَهُمۡ
for them
عَذَابَ
punishment
ٱلسَّعِيرِ
(of) the Blaze
٥
And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils1 and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
67:6
وَلِلَّذِينَ
And for those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
بِرَبِّهِمۡ
in their Lord
عَذَابُ
(is the) punishment
جَهَنَّمَ‌ۖ
(of) Hell
وَبِئۡسَ
and wretched is
ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
the destination
٦
And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.
67:7
إِذَآ
When
أُلۡقُواۡ
they are thrown
فِيهَا
therein
سَمِعُواۡ
they will hear
لَهَا
from it
شَهِيقًا
an inhaling
وَهِىَ
while it
تَفُورُ
boils up
٧
When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.
67:8
تَكَادُ
It almost
تَمَيَّزُ
bursts
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡغَيۡظِ‌ۖ
rage
كُلَّمَآ
Every time
أُلۡقِىَ
is thrown
فِيهَا
therein
فَوۡجٌ
a group
سَأَلَهُمۡ
(will) ask them
خَزَنَتُهَآ
its keepers
أَلَمۡ
Did not
يَأۡتِكُمۡ
come to you
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
٨
It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"
67:9
قَالُواۡ
They will say
بَلَىٰ
Yes
قَدۡ
indeed
جَآءَنَا
came to us
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
فَكَذَّبۡنَا
but we denied
وَقُلۡنَا
and we said
مَا
Not
نَزَّلَ
has sent down
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مِن
any
شَىۡءٍ
thing
إِنۡ
Not
أَنتُمۡ
you (are)
إِلَّا
but
فِى
in
ضَلَـٰلٍ
error
كَبِيرٍ
great
٩
They will say, "Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allāh has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"
67:10
وَقَالُواۡ
And they will say
لَوۡ
If
كُنَّا
we had
نَسۡمَعُ
listened
أَوۡ
or
نَعۡقِلُ
reasoned
مَا
not
كُنَّا
we (would) have been
فِىٓ
among
أَصۡحَـٰبِ
(the) companions
ٱلسَّعِيرِ
(of) the Blaze
١٠
And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."
67:11
فَٱعۡتَرَفُواۡ
Then they (will) confess
بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ
their sins
فَسُحۡقًا
so away with
لِّأَصۡحَـٰبِ
(the) companions
ٱلسَّعِيرِ
(of) the Blaze
١١
And they will admit their sin, so [it is] alienation1 for the companions of the Blaze.
67:12
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَخۡشَوۡنَ
fear
رَبَّهُم
their Lord
بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ
unseen
لَهُم
for them
مَّغۡفِرَةٌ
(is) forgiveness
وَأَجۡرٌ
and a reward
كَبِيرٌ
great
١٢
Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.
67:13
وَأَسِرُّواۡ
And conceal
قَوۡلَكُمۡ
your speech
أَوِ
or
ٱجۡهَرُواۡ
proclaim
بِهِۦٓ‌ۖ
it
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
عَلِيمُۢ
(is the) All-Knower
بِذَاتِ
of what (is in)
ٱلصُّدُورِ
the breasts
١٣
And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
67:14
أَلَا
Does not
يَعۡلَمُ
know
مَنۡ
(the One) Who
خَلَقَ
created
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱللَّطِيفُ
(is) the Subtle
ٱلۡخَبِيرُ
the All-Aware
١٤
Does He who created not know,1 while He is the Subtle, the Aware?
67:15
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
جَعَلَ
made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
ذَلُولاً
subservient
فَٱمۡشُواۡ
so walk
فِى
in
مَنَاكِبِهَا
(the) paths thereof
وَكُلُواۡ
and eat
مِن
of
رِّزۡقِهِۦ‌ۖ
His provision
وَإِلَيۡهِ
and to Him
ٱلنُّشُورُ
(is) the Resurrection
١٥
It is He who made the earth tame1 for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection.
67:16
ءَأَمِنتُم
Do you feel secure
مَّن
(from Him) Who
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the heaven
أَن
not
يَخۡسِفَ
He will cause to swallow
بِكُمُ
you
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
فَإِذَا
when
هِىَ
it
تَمُورُ
sways
١٦
Do you feel secure that He who is above1 would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?2
67:17
أَمۡ
Or
أَمِنتُم
do you feel secure
مَّن
(from Him) Who
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the heaven
أَن
that
يُرۡسِلَ
He will send
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
against you
حَاصِبًا‌ۖ
a storm of stones
فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ
Then you would know
كَيۡفَ
how
نَذِيرِ
(was) My warning
١٧
Or do you feel secure that He who is above would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.
67:18
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
كَذَّبَ
denied
ٱلَّذِينَ
those
مِن
from
قَبۡلِهِمۡ
before them
فَكَيۡفَ
and how
كَانَ
was
نَكِيرِ
My rejection
١٨
And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.
67:19
أَوَلَمۡ
Do not
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
إِلَى
[to]
ٱلطَّيۡرِ
the birds
فَوۡقَهُمۡ
above them
صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍ
spreading (their wings)
وَيَقۡبِضۡنَ‌ۚ
and folding
مَا
Not
يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ
holds them
إِلَّا
except
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ‌ۚ
the Most Gracious
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
بِكُلِّ
(is) of every
شَىۡءِۭ
thing
بَصِيرٌ
All-Seer
١٩
Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
67:20
أَمَّنۡ
Who is
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلَّذِى
the one
هُوَ
he
جُندٌ
(is) an army
لَّكُمۡ
for you
يَنصُرُكُم
to help you
مِّن
from
دُونِ
besides
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ‌ۚ
the Most Gracious
إِنِ
Not
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ
(are) the disbelievers
إِلَّا
but
فِى
in
غُرُورٍ
delusion
٢٠
Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.
67:21
أَمَّنۡ
Who is
هَـٰذَا
this
ٱلَّذِى
the one
يَرۡزُقُكُمۡ
to provide you
إِنۡ
if

رِزۡقَهُۥ‌ۚ
His provision
بَل
Nay
لَّجُّواۡ
they persist
فِى
in
عُتُوٍّ
pride
وَنُفُورٍ
and aversion
٢١
Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.
67:22
أَفَمَن
Then is he who
يَمۡشِى
walks
مُكِبًّا
fallen
عَلَىٰ
on
وَجۡهِهِۦٓ
his face
أَهۡدَىٰٓ
better guided
أَمَّن

يَمۡشِى
walks
سَوِيًّا
upright
عَلَىٰ
on
صِرٰطٍ
(the) Path
مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ
Straight
٢٢
Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?
67:23
قُلۡ
Say
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِىٓ
(is) the One Who
أَنشَأَكُمۡ
produced you
وَجَعَلَ
and made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلسَّمۡعَ
the hearing
وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَ
and the vision
وَٱلۡأَفۡــِٔدَةَ‌ۖ
and the feelings

Little
مَّا
(is) what
تَشۡكُرُونَ
you give thanks
٢٣
Say, "It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful."
67:24
قُلۡ
Say
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
ذَرَأَكُمۡ
multiplied you
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَإِلَيۡهِ
and to Him
تُحۡشَرُونَ
you will be gathered
٢٤
Say, "It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."
67:25
وَيَقُولُونَ
And they say
مَتَىٰ
When
هَـٰذَا
(is) this
ٱلۡوَعۡدُ
promise
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
٢٥
And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
67:26
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَا
Only
ٱلۡعِلۡمُ
the knowledge
عِندَ
(is) with
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَإِنَّمَآ
and only
أَنَاۡ
I am
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
مُّبِينٌ
clear
٢٦
Say, "The knowledge is only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."
67:27
فَلَمَّا
But when
رَأَوۡهُ
they (will) see it
زُلۡفَةً
approaching
سِيٓــَٔتۡ
(will be) distressed
وُجُوهُ
(the) faces
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
وَقِيلَ
and it will be said
هَـٰذَا
This
ٱلَّذِى
(is) that which
كُنتُم
you used to
بِهِۦ
for it
تَدَّعُونَ
call
٢٧
But when they see it1 approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."2
67:28
قُلۡ
Say
أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ
Have you seen
إِنۡ
if
أَهۡلَكَنِىَ
destroys me
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
وَمَن
and whoever
مَّعِىَ
(is) with me
أَوۡ
or
رَحِمَنَا
has mercy upon us
فَمَن
then who
يُجِيرُ
(can) protect
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
مِنۡ
from
عَذَابٍ
a punishment
أَلِيمٍ
painful
٢٨
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered:1 whether Allāh should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"
67:29
قُلۡ
Say
هُوَ
He
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ
(is) the Most Gracious
ءَامَنَّا
we believe
بِهِۦ
in Him
وَعَلَيۡهِ
and upon Him
تَوَكَّلۡنَا‌ۖ
we put (our) trust
فَسَتَعۡلَمُونَ
So you will know
مَنۡ
who
هُوَ
(is) it
فِى
(that is) in
ضَلَـٰلٍ
error
مُّبِينٍ
clear
٢٩
Say, "He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error."
67:30
قُلۡ
Say
أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ
Have you seen
إِنۡ
if
أَصۡبَحَ
becomes
مَآؤُكُمۡ
your water
غَوۡرًا
sunken
فَمَن
then who
يَأۡتِيكُم
could bring you
بِمَآءٍ
water
مَّعِينِۭ
flowing
٣٠
Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"
