Surah Al-Mulk (سورة الملك)

تَبَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ

Tabāraka alladhī biyadihi al-mulku wahuwa 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr

Blessed is the One in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is over all things competent.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًۭا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ

Alladhī khalaqa al-mawta wal-hayāta liyabluwakum ayyukum ahasanu 'amalā, wahuwa al-'azīzu al-ghafūr

He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed—and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍۢ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍۢ

Alladhī khalaqa sab'a samāwātin tibāqan, mā tarā fī khalqi ar-rahmāni min tafāwut, farji'i al-basara hal tarā min futūr

He who created seven heavens in layers. You see no inconsistency in the creation of the Most Merciful. So return your vision; do you see any flaws?

ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًۭا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌۭ

Thumma irji'i al-basara karratayni yanqalib ilayka al-basaru khāsi'an wahuwa hasīr

Then return your vision twice again. Your vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا رُجُومًۭا لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

Walaqad zayyannā as-samā'a ad-dunyā bimasābīha waja'alnāhā rujūman lish-shayātīni, wa-a'tadnā lahum 'adhāba as-sa'īr

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and made them missiles for the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
