Mülk Sûresi Wahiduddin Khan Meâli

Blessed is He in whose hand is the Kingdom: He has power over all things; ﴾ 1 ﴿
He created death and life so that He might test you, and find out which of you is best in conduct. He is the Mighty, the Most Forgiving One. ﴾ 2 ﴿
He created seven heavens one above the other in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the Gracious One. Then look once again: can you see any flaw? ﴾ 3 ﴿
Then look again and again. Your gaze will come back to you confused and exhausted. ﴾ 4 ﴿
We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and We have made them for driving away devils. For them We have prepared the punishment of the blazing Fire. ﴾ 5 ﴿
Those who are bent on blaspheming against their Lord will have the punishment of Hell: an evil destination. ﴾ 6 ﴿
When they are cast into it, they will hear its roaring as it boils up, ﴾ 7 ﴿
as though bursting with rage. Each time a group is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, "Did no warner come to you?" ﴾ 8 ﴿
They will say, "Of course, a warner did come to us, but we belied him and we said, 'God has revealed nothing; you are in gross error.'" ﴾ 9 ﴿
They will say, "If we had only listened or understood, we should not now be among the inmates of Hell," ﴾ 10 ﴿
and thus they will confess their sin; far from God's mercy are the inmates of Hell. ﴾ 11 ﴿
As for those who fear their Lord in the unseen will have forgiveness and a rich reward. ﴾ 12 ﴿
Whether you speak in secret or aloud, He knows what is in every heart. ﴾ 13 ﴿
How could He who created not know His own creation, when He alone is the Most Subtle in His wisdom and the All Aware? ﴾ 14 ﴿
It is He who has made the earth subservient to you, so traverse its regions and eat its provisions. To Him you shall all be resurrected. ﴾ 15 ﴿
Do you feel secure that He who is in heaven will not cause the earth to sink beneath you and then begin to quake? ﴾ 16 ﴿
Do you feel secure that the One in heaven will not send against you a whirlwind to pelt you with stones, so that you will know how [true] My warning was? ﴾ 17 ﴿
Those who went before them belied [the truth]: then how great was My rejection of them. ﴾ 18 ﴿
Do they not see the birds above them spreading and closing their wings? None save the Merciful sustains them. Surely, He observes all things. ﴾ 19 ﴿
Who is there to defend you like an army, besides the Lord of Mercy? Those who deny the truth are in deception. ﴾ 20 ﴿
Who can provide for you, if He withholds His provision? Yet they obstinately persist in rebellion and avoidance of the truth. ﴾ 21 ﴿
Is he who walks grovelling upon his face better guided, or he who walks upright upon a straight path? ﴾ 22 ﴿
Say, "It is He who brought you into being, and made ears and eyes and hearts for you, yet you are seldom grateful." ﴾ 23 ﴿
Say, "It is He who has scattered you on the earth; and it is to Him that you shall all be gathered [on the Day of Resurrection]. ﴾ 24 ﴿
They ask, "When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?" ﴾ 25 ﴿
Say, "God alone has knowledge of that; and I am only a plain warner." ﴾ 26 ﴿
But when they see it drawing near, the faces of those who deny the truth will turn gloomy and they will be told, "This is what you were calling for." ﴾ 27 ﴿
Say, "Have you thought: if God destroys me and those who are with me, or treats us mercifully, then who will protect those who deny the truth from a painful chastisement?" ﴾ 28 ﴿
Say, "He is the Most Gracious: we believe in Him and we put our trust in Him. You will soon come to know who is in evident error." ﴾ 29 ﴿
Say, "Have you considered if your water were to sink into the ground, who could then bring you flowing water?" ﴾ 30 ﴿
