Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things

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

Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts

Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim

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

And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end

When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up

As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner

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

And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames

So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames

Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward
