In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Blessed be He in whose Hand is the Kingdom, He is powerful over all things, (1)

who created death and life that He might examine which of you is best in deeds, and He is the Almighty, the Forgiving, (2)

who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You cannot see any inconsistency in the creation of the Merciful. Return your gaze, do you see any crack! (3)

Then return your gaze once more and yet again, your gaze comes back to you dazzled, and tired. (4)

We have adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and We made them a stoning for the satans, We have prepared the punishment of the Blaze for them. (5)

And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there awaits the punishment of Gehenna (Hell) an evil arrival! (6)

When they are cast into it they shall hear it sighing, while it boils (7)

nearly bursting apart out of rage. Every time a host is cast therein, its keepers will ask them: 'Did no one come to warn you? ' (8)

'Yes, indeed' they will reply, 'but we belied the Warner (Messenger) saying: 'Allah has not sent down anything, you are but in great error! ' (9)

And they will then say: 'If only we had listened and understood we should not now be among the inhabitants of the Blaze. ' (10)
