In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"67.1":    Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things,

"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,

"67.3":    Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent God; then look again, can you see any disorder?

"67.4":    Then turn back the eye again and again; your look shall '~ come back to you confused while it is fatigued.

"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.

"67.6":    And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of hell, and evil is the resort.

"67.7":    When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,

"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?

"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.

"67.10":    And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.

"67.11":    So they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be (forgiveness) from the inmates of the burning fire.

"67.12":    (As for) those who fear their Lord in secret, they shall surely have forgiveness and a great reward.

"67.13":    And conceal your word or manifest it; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the hearts.

"67.14":    Does He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"67.18":    And certainly those before them rejected (the truth), then how was My disapproval.

"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 God? Surely He sees everything.

"67.20":    Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent God? The unbelievers are only in deception.

"67.21":    Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain and aversion.

"67.22":    What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?

"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.

"67.24":    Say: He it is Who multiplied you in the earth and to Him you shall be gathered.

"67.25":    And they say: When shall this threat be (executed) if you are truthful?

"67.26":    Say: The knowledge (thereof is only with Allah and I am only a plain warner.=

"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.

"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?

"67.29":    Say: He is the Beneficent God, we believe in Him and on Him do we rely, so you shall come to know who it is that is in clear error.

"67.30":    Say: Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you flowing water?
