Full of blessings is He1 in Whose hand is the Kingdom of the Universe,2 and He has power over everything.3 Who created death and life that He may try you to see which of you is best in deeds,4 and He is All-Mighty as well as All-Forgiving.5 Who created seven heavens, one above the other.6 You will not see any fault in the creation of the Merciful.7 Turn up your eyes: do you see any flaw8 anywhere? Look up again and yet again: your look will return to you, disappointed, wearied. And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven9 with magnificent lamps10 and made them a means of driving away Satans.11 For these satans We have prepared a blazing Fire. For those who disbelieve in their Lord,12 there is the torment of Hell, and it is an evil abode. When they are flung into it, they will hear its roaring,13 and it will be boiling up, as though bursting with rage. Every time a crowd is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, "Did not a warner come to you?"14 They will answer, "Yes, a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said, `Allah has not sent down anything: you are in grave error'!"15 And they will add, "Had we only listened or understood,16 we would not now be among the dwellers of the blazing Fire." Thus will they confess their own sin.17 Damned be the dwellers of Hell! Those who fear their Lord unseen,18 for them is forgiveness and a rich reward.19 Whether you speak secretly or aloud it is alike for Allah): He even knows the secrets of the hearts.20 Would He not know, who has created?21 He is the knower of subtleties22 and is All-Aware.
