الملك
Al-Mulk
The Dominion
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion, and He is capable of all things,
تبرك الذي بيده الملك وهو علي كل شي قدير
who created death and life to test you: which of you acts best.
الذي خلق الموت والحيوه ليبلوكم ايكم احسن عملا
And He is the All-Powerful, the Most-Forgiving.
وهو العزيز الغفور
He who created seven heavens in layers.
الذي خلق سبع سموت طباقا
You do not see in the creation of the All-Benevolent any disharmony.
ما تري في خلق الرحمن من تفوت
Return your gaze: do you see any fissure?
فارجع البصر هل تري من فطور
Then return your gaze twice more: your gaze will return to you rebuffed and breathless.
ثم ارجع البصر كرتين ينقلب اليك البصر خاسيا وهو حسير
We have indeed adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and made them missiles against the Diverters, and We have made ready for them the punishment of the Inferno.
ولقد زينا السما الدنيا بمصبيح وجعلنها رجوما للشيطين واعتدنا لهم عذاب السعير
And for those who disowned their Guardian is the punishment of Jahannam,
وللذين كفروا بربهم عذاب جهنم
and what an evil destination!
وبيس المصير
When they are thrown into it, they will hear it roaring as it boils, almost splitting with fury.
اذا القوا فيها سمعوا لها شهيقا وهي تفور تكاد تميز من الغيظ
Every time a crowd is thrown into it, its custodians will ask them: "Did no warner come to you?"
كلما القي فيها فوج سالهم خزنتها الم ياتكم نذير
They will say: "Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied him and said: 'God has not sent down anything, you are only in great error.'"
قالوا بلي قد جانا نذير فكذبنا وقلنا ما نزل الله من شي ان انتم الا في ضلل كبير
And they will say: "If we had listened or reasoned, we would not be among the companions of the Inferno."
وقالوا لو كنا نسمع او نعقل ما كنا في اصحب السعير
So they will acknowledge their offense:
فاعترفوا بذنبهم
so away with the companions of the Inferno!
فسحقا لاصحب السعير
Those who dread their Guardian even though He escapes their senses will indeed have forgiveness and a great reward.
ان الذين يخشون ربهم بالغيب لهم مغفره واجر كبير
And whether you keep your saying secret or say it aloud,
واسروا قولكم او اجهروا به
for He is All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
انه عليم بذات الصدور
Would He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Intimately Acquainted?
الا يعلم من خلق وهو اللطيف الخبير
It is He who made the earth docile for you; so walk through its expanses and eat from His provision.
هو الذي جعل لكم الارض ذلولا فامشوا في مناكبها وكلوا من رزقه
And to Him is the Deployment.
واليه النشور
Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you, whereupon it sways?
امنتم من في السما ان يخسف بكم الارض فاذا هي تمور
Or do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not send against you a storm of stones?
ام امنتم من في السما ان يرسل عليكم حاصبا
Then you will know how My warning was.
فستعلمون كيف نذير
Those before them certainly denied,
ولقد كذب الذين من قبلهم
and how was My disavowal!
فكيف كان نكير
Have they not seen the birds above them, aligning their wings and folding them?
اولم يروا الي الطير فوقهم صفت ويقبضن
Nothing holds them up except the All-Benevolent,
ما يمسكهن الا الرحمن
for He is All-Seeing of all things.
انه بكل شي بصير
Or who is it that would be an army for you and help you, besides the All-Benevolent?
امن هذا الذي هو جند لكم ينصركم من دون الرحمن
Those who disown are only in delusion.
ان الكفرون الا في غرور
Or who is it that would provide for you, if He held back His provision?
امن هذا الذي يرزقكم ان امسك رزقه
Yet they are mired in insolence and recoil.
بل لجوا في عتو ونفور
Is he who walks fallen on his face better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path?
افمن يمشي مكبا علي وجهه اهدي امن يمشي سويا علي صرط مستقيم
Say: "It is He who brought you into being and appointed for you hearing, sight, and Consciences.
قل هو الذي انشاكم وجعل لكم السمع والابصر والافده
How little you are grateful!"
قليلا ما تشكرون
Say: "It is He who scattered you upon the earth, and to Him you will be gathered."
قل هو الذي ذراكم في الارض واليه تحشرون
And they say: "When will this promise be, if you are veracious?"
ويقولون متي هذا الوعد ان كنتم صدقين
Say: "The knowledge is only with God; I am only a clear warner."
قل انما العلم عند الله وانما انا نذير مبين
Then, when they see it near, vexation will be stamped upon the faces of those who disowned, and it will be said: "This is what you used to call for."
فلما راوه زلفه سيت وجوه الذين كفروا وقيل هذا الذي كنتم به تدعون
Say: "Do you see? Whether God annihilates me and those with me, or has benevolence on us, who will grant asylum to those who disown from a painful punishment?"
قل اريتم ان اهلكني الله ومن معي او رحمنا فمن يجير الكفرين من عذاب اليم
Say: "He is the All-Benevolent; we believe in Him and to Him we entrust ourselves.
قل هو الرحمن امنا به وعليه توكلنا
You will soon know who is in manifest error."
فستعلمون من هو في ضلل مبين
Say: "Do you see? If your water were to sink into the ground, who then would bring you spring water?"
قل اريتم ان اصبح ماوكم غورا فمن ياتيكم بما معين
