Surah Introduction

This Meccan sûrah stresses that Allah's infinite power is manifested through His perfect creation. Those who disbelieve in Allah and deny the Resurrection will be regretful in Hell, whereas those in awe of their Lord will be richly rewarded in Paradise. Allah's absolute authority is contrasted with the powerlessness of false gods. The fact that there is no protection from Allah's torment is emphasized in this sûrah (verses 20, 21, and 30) and the next (68:17-33).


Translation of Verse 1-14
1. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Blessed is the One in Whose Hands rests all authority. And He is Most Capable of everything.

2. ˹He is the One˺ Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds. And He is the Almighty, All-Forgiving.

3. ˹He is the One˺ Who created seven heavens, one above the other. You will never see any imperfection in the creation of the Most Compassionate. 1214 So look again: do you see any flaws?

4. Then look again and again-your sight will return frustrated and weary.

5. And indeed, We adorned the lowest heaven with ˹stars like˺ lamps, and made them ˹as missiles˺ for stoning ˹eavesdropping˺ devils, for whom We have also prepared the torment of the Blaze. 1215

6. Those who disbelieve in their Lord will suffer the punishment of Hell. What an evil destination!

7. When they are tossed into it, they will hear its roaring as it boils over,

8. almost bursting in fury. Every time a group is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, "Did a warner not come to you?"

9. They will reply, "Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has revealed nothing. You are extremely astray.'"

10. And they will lament, "If only we had listened and reasoned, we would not be among the residents of the Blaze!"

11. And so they will confess their sins. So away with the residents of the Blaze!

12. Indeed, those in awe of their Lord without seeing Him 1216 will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.

13. Whether you speak secretly or openly-He surely knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

14. How could He not know His Own creation? For He ˹alone˺ is the Most Subtle, All-Aware.


Commentary

1214. Some may point to birth defects, genetic mutations, etc. and say these are flaws. This verse means that, in the grand scheme of creation, everything created has its place, form, and purpose, and that it does exactly what Allah ordained for it.

1215. See 72:8-10.

1216. This can also mean that they are in awe of their Lord as much in private as they are in public.
