Chapter 68 Chapter 67 State Power

This chapter is from Mecca, and it has thirty verses in total. Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 1 Blessed be the Sovereign!He is all-powerful over all things. II He created life and death, that he might test which of you works best.He is all-powerful and all-forgiving. 3. He created the seven heavens. You cannot see a single difference in the creation of the Most Merciful.Look again!What flaws can you see? IV Then you look twice, and your eyes will roll back dazed and weary! 5 I have adorned the nearest sky with stars, and made stars for the devils to guess.I have prepared for them the punishment of Hell.

6. Those who do not believe in the Lord will be punished in Hell. That destination is really bad! 7 When they are thrown into Hell, they will hear the blazing sound of the boiling Hell. 8. Hell was almost broken with wrath, and every time a group was cast into it, the gods of Hell said to them, "Has no Warner come upon you?" 9 They said, "No! The Warners have indeed come to us, but we deny them, and we say: 'Allah has sent nothing, you are only in great error.'" 10 They said, "If we had listened, or understood, we would not have been among the inhabitants of Hell!"

- They confessed their sins.Keep the inhabitants of Hell from the mercy of Allah! 12. Those who fear the Lord in secret will receive pardon and a great reward. 13 You may hide your words; you may also speak them.He is indeed omniscient. 14 If the Creator is mysterious and all-knowing, does He not know your hidden words? 15 He has made the earth steady for you, and you should walk on all sides of the earth, and eat of his sustenance, and after your resurrection, you belong only to him. 16 Are you not afraid that the Lord of heaven will swallow you up when the earth shakes? 17 Aren't you afraid that the Lord in heaven will destroy you with a storm of flying sand and rocks?You will know what MY warnings are like.

18 Those who died before them, have indeed denied the Messenger, what is my condemnation? 19 Did they not see the birds that spread and fold their wings above them?They are maintained only by the All-Merciful, who is indeed Seeing all things. 20 Who can be your reinforcements but Allah to your aid?You are only in self-deception. 21. Who can provide for you?If the Most Merciful withholds his provisions.Otherwise, they cling to pride and rebellion. 22. Who is more likely to be guided?What about people who crawl?Or is it someone who stands up and walks on the right path? 23 You say, "He created you, and created you ears, eyes, and hearts. You give little thanks."

24. Say, "He is the one who multiplied you in the earth, and you will be gathered to him." 25 They said, "When will this warning be fulfilled? If you are honest men." 26 You say, "Knowledge of this is in the Lord alone, and I am but a frank warner." 27 When they see the promise approaching, the faces of the unbelievers shall be blackened!Or they will say, "This is what you've talked about in your lifetime and it won't come true." 28 Say, "Tell me, if Allah destroys me, and my fellows, or has mercy on us, then who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

29. Say: "He is the Most Merciful, in whom we have believed, and in him alone. You will know who is in manifest error." 30 You said, "Tell me, if your water leaks, who will give you a running water?"
