[Mulk 67:13] And whether you speak softly or proclaim it aloud; He indeed knows what lies within the hearts!

[Mulk 67:14] What! Will He Who has created not know? Whereas He knows every detail, the All Aware!

Section 2

[Mulk 67:15] It is He Who subjected the earth for you, therefore tread its paths and eat from Allah’s sustenance; and towards Him is the resurrection.

[Mulk 67:16] Have you become unafraid of the One Who controls the heavens, that He will not cause you to sink into the earth when it trembles?

[Mulk 67:17] Or have you become unafraid of the One Who controls the heavens, that He will not send a torrent of stones upon you? So now you will realise, how My warning turned out!

[Mulk 67:18] And indeed those before them had denied – therefore how did My rejection turn out!

[Mulk 67:19] And did they not see the birds above them, spreading and closing their wings? None except the Most Gracious holds them up; indeed He sees all things.

[Mulk 67:20] Or which army do you have that will help you against the Most Gracious? The disbelievers are in nothing except an illusion.

[Mulk 67:21] Or who is such that will give you sustenance if Allah stops His sustenance? In fact they persist in rebellion and hatred.

[Mulk 67:22] So is one who walks inverted upon his face more rightly guided, or one who walks upright on the Straight Path?

[Mulk 67:23] Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), “It is He Who created you, and made ears and eyes and hearts for you; very little thanks do you offer!”

[Mulk 67:24] Say, “It is He Who has spread you out in the earth, and towards Him you will be raised.”

[Mulk 67:25] And they say, “When will this promise come, if you are truthful?”

[Mulk 67:26] Proclaim, “Surely Allah has its knowledge; and I am only a Herald of plain warning.”

[Mulk 67:27] So when they will see it close, the faces of the disbelievers will become ghastly, and it will be declared, “This is what you were demanding.”

[Mulk 67:28] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), “What is your opinion –Allah may either destroy me and those with me, or have mercy on us – so who is such that will protect the disbelievers from the painful punishment?”

[Mulk 67:29] Proclaim, “He only is the Most Gracious – we have accepted faith in Him and have relied only upon Him; so you will now realise who is in open error.”

[Mulk 67:30] Say, “What is your opinion - if in the morning all your water were to sink into the earth, then who is such who can bring you water flowing before you?”
