67. Al-Mulk

67:1

تَبَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿١﴾

Tabāraka alladhī biyadihi al-mulku wahuwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr

Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things.

67:2

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ ﴿٢﴾

Alladhī khalaqa al-mawta wal-ḥayāta liyabluwakum ayyukum aḥsanu ʿamalan wahuwa al-ʿazīzu al-ghafūr

Who hath created life and death that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving,

67:3

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ ﴿٣﴾

Alladhī khalaqa sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqan mā tarā fī khalqi ar-raḥmāni min tafāwutin fārjiʿi al-baṣara hal tarā min fuṭūr

Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts?

67:4

ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ ﴿٤﴾

Thumma irjiʿi al-baṣara karratayni yanqalib ilayka al-baṣaru khāsiʾan wahuwa ḥasīr

Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.

67:5

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا رُجُومًا لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿٥﴾

Walaqad zayyannā as-samāʾa ad-dunyā bimaṣābīḥa wajaʿalnāhā rujūman lilshshayāṭīni waʾaʿtadnā lahum ʿadhāba as-saʿīr

And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame.

67:6

وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿٦﴾

Walilladhīna kafarū birabbihim ʿadhābu jahannama wabiʾsa al-maṣīr

And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end!

67:7

إِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ فِيهَا سَمِعُوا۟ لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِىَ تَفُورُ ﴿٧﴾

Idhā ulqū fīhā samiʿū lahā shahīqan wahiya tafūr

When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,

67:8

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلْقِىَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ ﴿٨﴾

Takādu tamayyazu mina al-ghayẓi kullamā ulqiya fīhā fawjun saʾalahum khazanatuhā alam yaʾtikum nadhīr

As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner?

67:9

قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ كَبِيرٍ ﴿٩﴾

Qālū balā qad jāʾanā nadhīrun fakadhdhabnā waqulnā mā nazzala Allāhu min shayʾin in antum illā fī ḍalālin kabīr

They say: Yea, verily, a warner came unto us; but we denied and said: Allah hath naught revealed; ye are in naught but a great error.

67:10

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿١٠﴾

Waqālū law kunnā nasmaʿu aw naʿqilu mā kunnā fī aṣḥābi as-saʿīr

And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.

67:11

فَٱعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ﴿١١﴾

Fāʿtarafū bidhanbihim fasuḥqan liʾaṣḥābi as-saʿīr

So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.

67:12

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ﴿١٢﴾

Inna alladhīna yakhshawna rabbahum bil-ghaybi lahum maghfiratun waʾajrun kabīr

Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward.

67:13

وَأَسِرُّوا۟ قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ ٱجْهَرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ﴿١٣﴾

Waʾasirrū qawlakum awi ijharū bihi innahu ʿalīmun bidhāti aṣ-ṣudūr

And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men).

67:14

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ﴿١٤﴾

Alā yaʿlamu man khalaqa wahuwa allaṭīfu al-khabīr

Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware.

67:15

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَٱمْشُوا۟ فِى مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِهِۦ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ ﴿١٥﴾

Huwa alladhī jaʿala lakumu al-arḍa dhalūlan fāmshū fī manākibihā wakulū min rizqihi waʾilayhi an-nushūr

He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you, so Walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. And unto Him will be the resurrection (of the dead).

67:16

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ ﴿١٦﴾

Aʾamintum man fī as-samāʾi an yakhsifa bikumu al-arḍa faʾidhā hiya tamūr

Have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not cause the earth to swallow you when lo! it is convulsed?

67:17

أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ ﴿١٧﴾

Am amintum man fī as-samāʾi an yursila ʿalaykum ḥāṣiban fasataʿlamūna kayfa nadhīr

Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of My warning.

67:18

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ﴿١٨﴾

Walaqad kadhdhaba alladhīna min qablihim fakayfa kāna nakīr

And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)!

67:19

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۭ بَصِيرٌ ﴿١٩﴾

Awalam yaraw ilā aṭ-ṭayri fawqahum ṣāffātin wayaqbiḍna mā yumsikuhunna illā ar-raḥmānu innahu bikulli shayʾin baṣīr

Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things.

67:20

أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍ ﴿٢٠﴾

Amman hādhā alladhī huwa jundun lakum yanṣurukum min dūni ar-raḥmāni ini al-kāfirūna illā fī ghurūr

Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion.

67:21

أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ ﴿٢١﴾

Amman hādhā alladhī yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjū fī ʿutuwwin wanufūr

Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness.

67:22

أَفَمَن يَمْشِى مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦٓ أَهْدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمْشِى سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٢٢﴾

Afaman yamshī mukibban ʿalā wajhihi ahdā amman yamshī sawiyyan ʿalā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm

Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road?

67:23

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Qul huwa alladhī anshaʾakum wajaʿala lakumu as-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afʾidata qalīlan mā tashkurūn

Qul huwa alladhī dharaʾakum fī al-arḍi waʾilayhi tuḥsharūn

Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth, and unto Whom ye will be gathered.

67:25

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٢٥﴾

Wayaqūlūna matā hādhā al-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīn

And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful?

67:26

قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٢٦﴾

Qul innamā al-ʿilmu ʿinda Allāhi waʾinnamā anā nadhīrun mubīn

Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner;

67:27

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيٓـَٔتْ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقِيلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

Falammā raʾawhu zulfatan sīʾat wujūhu alladhīna kafarū waqīla hādhā alladhī kuntum bihi taddaʿūn

But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.

67:28

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِىَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿٢٨﴾

Qul araʾaytum in ahlakaniya Allāhu waman maʿiya aw raḥimanā faman yujīru al-kāfirīna min ʿadhābin alīm

Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?

67:29

قُلْ هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٢٩﴾

Qul huwa ar-raḥmānu āmannā bihi waʿalayhi tawakkalnā fasataʿlamūna man huwa fī ḍalālin mubīn
