67: The Sovereignty
|
|
| 67:1
Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things. |
|
| 67:2
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
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?
|
"Who hath created seven heavens ... Canst thou see any rifts?"
Allah asks Muhammed to examine the sky to see if it has any cracks.
|
| 67:4
Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.
|
| 67:5
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. |
Allah made the stars for missiles to throw at devils for which he has
prepared a doom of flame.
|
| 67:6
And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a
hapless journey's end! |
Disbelievers will go to
a doom of hell where they will hear its roaring and boiling.
Hell and doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
|
| 67:7
When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,
|
| 67:8
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
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
And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames. |
|
| 67:11
So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames. |
|
| 67:12
Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. |
|
| 67:13
And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men). |
|
| 67:14
Should He not know what He created ? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. |
|
| 67:15
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
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
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
And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)! |
|
| 67:19
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
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
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
Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road ? |
|
| 67:23
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye! |
|
| 67:24
Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth, and unto Whom ye will be gathered. |
|
| 67:25
And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful ? |
|
| 67:26
Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner; |
|
| 67:27
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
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 ? |
Who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom? (Nobody)
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
|
| 67:29
Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest. |
|
| 67:30
Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water ? |
