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

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

67:2

ٱلَّذِي

خَلَقَ

ٱلۡمَوۡتَ

وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ

لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ

أَيُّكُمۡ

أَحۡسَنُ

عَمَلٗاۚ

وَهُوَ

ٱلۡعَزِيزُ

ٱلۡغَفُورُ

˹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.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

67:3

ٱلَّذِي

خَلَقَ

سَبۡعَ

سَمَٰوَٰتٖ

طِبَاقٗاۖ

مَّا

تَرَىٰ

فِي

خَلۡقِ

ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ

مِن

تَفَٰوُتٖۖ

فَٱرۡجِعِ

ٱلۡبَصَرَ

هَلۡ

تَرَىٰ

مِن

فُطُورٖ

˹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.¹ So look again: do you see any flaws?

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

67:4

ثُمَّ

ٱرۡجِعِ

ٱلۡبَصَرَ

كَرَّتَيۡنِ

يَنقَلِبۡ

إِلَيۡكَ

ٱلۡبَصَرُ

خَاسِئٗا

وَهُوَ

حَسِيرٞ

Then look again and again—your sight will return frustrated and weary.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

67:5

وَلَقَدۡ

زَيَّنَّا

ٱلسَّمَآءَ

ٱلدُّنۡيَا

بِمَصَٰبِيحَ

وَجَعَلۡنَٰهَا

رُجُومٗا

لِّلشَّيَٰطِينِۖ

وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا

لَهُمۡ

عَذَابَ

ٱلسَّعِيرِ

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.¹

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
