﴾22﴿ Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road? ﴾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. ﴾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. ﴾19﴿ Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. ﴾18﴿ And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)! ﴾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. ﴾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? And unto Him will be the resurrection (of the dead). ﴾15﴿ He it is Who hath made the earth subservient unto you, so Walk in the paths thereof and eat of His providence. ﴾14﴿ Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. ﴾13﴿ And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men). ﴾12﴿ Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. ﴾11﴿ So they acknowledge their sins but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.
﴾10﴿ And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames. ﴾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. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner? ﴾7﴿ When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up, ﴾6﴿ And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end! ﴾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. ﴾4﴿ Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation then look again: Canst thou see any rifts? ﴾3﴿ Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. ﴾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, ﴾1﴿ Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
