Surah Al-Mulk
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things. (1)

Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed.[] And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving; (2)

Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?" (3)

Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out (4)

And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayâtin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire (5)

And for those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allâh) is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination (6)

When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth (7)

It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you?" (8)

They will say: "Yes indeed a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allâh never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'" (9)

And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!" (10
 So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames. (11)
 Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. (12) 
And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men). (13) 
Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. (14) 
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). (15) 
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? (16) 
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. (17) 
And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)! (18) 
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. (19) 
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. (20)
 Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness. (21)
 Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road? (22)
 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! (23)
Say: He it is Who multiplieth you in the earth, and unto Whom ye will be gathered. (24) 
And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful? (25) 
Say: The knowledge is with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner; (26) 
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. (27) 
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? (28) 
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. (29) 
Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water? (30)
