Kingship (Al-Mulk)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Most Auspicious is He in Whose control is the entire kingship; and He is Able to do all things. 1 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, 2 He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw? 3 Then turn your vision again, and then again; in the end your vision will come back to you, worn out and frustrated. 4 We have decked the lowest heavens with torches. With these torches We have stoned the devils and We have prepared for them the torment of hell. 5 And for those who disbelieve in their Lord will be the torment of Hell; and a hapless destination! 6 When they are cast into it they shall hear it sighing, while it boils 7 well-nigh bursting with fury; [and] every time a host [of such sinners] is flung into it, its keepers will ask them, "Has no warner ever come to you?" 8 They say, 'Yes indeed, a warner came to us; but we cried lies, saying, "God has not sent down anything; you are only in great error. 9 They will also say, "Had We listened or used our minds, we would not have become the dwellers of hell". 10 So now they admit their sins! Therefore accursed be the people of hell! 11 Surely forgiveness and a mighty reward await those who fear Allah without seeing Him. 12 And whether you speak softly or proclaim it aloud; He indeed knows what lies within the hearts! 13 Shall He not know, who created? And He is the All-subtle, the All-aware. 14
