In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. |
||||
Kingdom of the universe belong to Allah and Lower heaven is decorated with the lamps (stars) and Conversation between the dwellers of hell and her guards
|
1 |
Blessed is the One in Whose Hands rests all authority. And He is Most Capable of everything. |
||
2 |
˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving. |
|||
3 |
˹He is the One˺ Who created seven heavens, one above the other. You will never see any imperfection in the creation of the Most Compassionate.1 So look again: do you see any flaws? |
|||
4 |
Then look again and again—your sight will return frustrated and weary. |
|||
5 |
And indeed, We adorned the lowest heaven with ˹stars like˺ lamps, and made them ˹as missiles˺ for stoning ˹eavesdropping˺ devils, for whom We have also prepared the torment of the Blaze.1 |
|||
6 |
Those who disbelieve in their Lord will suffer the punishment of Hell. What an evil destination! |
|||
7 |
When they are tossed into it, they will hear its roaring as it boils over, |
|||
8 |
almost bursting in fury. Every time a group is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, “Did a warner not come to you?” |
|||
9 |
They will reply, “Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has revealed nothing. You are extremely astray.’” |
|||
10 |
And they will lament, “If only we had listened and reasoned, we would not be among the residents of the Blaze!” |
|||
11 |
And so they will confess their sins. So away with the residents of the Blaze! |
|||
12 |
Indeed, those in awe of their Lord without seeing Him1 will have forgiveness and a mighty reward. |
|||
13 |
Whether you speak secretly or openly—He surely knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart. |
|||
14 |
How could He not know His Own creation? For He ˹alone˺ is the Most Subtle, All-Aware. |
|||
No one can help you against Allah and No one can provide you sustenance besides Allah and No one can save you from the punishment of Allah
|
15 |
He is the One Who smoothed out the earth for you, so move about in its regions and eat from His provisions. And to Him is the resurrection ˹of all˺. |
||
16 |
Do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up as it quakes violently? |
|||
17 |
Or do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not unleash upon you a storm of stones. Only then would you know how ˹serious˺ My warning was! |
|||
18 |
And certainly those before them denied ˹as well˺, then how severe was My response! |
|||
19 |
Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything. |
|||
20 |
Also, which ˹powerless˺ force will come to your help instead of the Most Compassionate? Indeed, the disbelievers are only ˹lost˺ in delusion. |
|||
21 |
Or who is it that will provide for you if He withholds His provision? In fact, they persist in arrogance and aversion ˹to the truth˺. |
|||
22 |
Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path? |
|||
23 |
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is the One Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks.” |
|||
24 |
˹Also˺ say, “He is the One Who has dispersed you ˹all˺ over the earth, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be gathered.” |
|||
25 |
˹Still˺ they ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?” |
|||
26 |
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “That knowledge is with Allah alone, and I am only sent with a clear warning.” |
|||
27 |
Then when they see the torment drawing near, the faces of the disbelievers will become gloomy, and it will be said ˹to them˺, “This is what you claimed would never come.”1 |
|||
28 |
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Consider this: whether Allah causes me and those with me to die or shows us mercy, who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”1 |
|||
29 |
Say, “He is the Most Compassionate—in Him ˹alone˺ we believe, and in Him ˹alone˺ we trust. You will soon know who is clearly astray.” |
|||
30 |
Say, “Consider this: if your water were to sink ˹into the earth˺, then who ˹else˺ could bring you flowing water?” |
