The Purpose of Our Life*
[67:2] The One who created death and life for the purpose of distinguishing those among you who would do better.* He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.

*67:2 See the Introduction and Appendix 7 for details of the purpose behind this world.
[67:3] He created seven universes in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw?

[67:5] We adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and guarded its borders with projectiles against the devils; we prepared for them a retribution in Hell.

[67:6] For those who disbelieved in their Lord, the retribution of Gehenna. What a miserable destiny.

[67:7] When they get thrown therein, they hear its furor as it fumes.

[67:8] It almost explodes from rage. Whenever a group is thrown therein, its guards would ask them, "Did you not receive a warner?"

[67:9] They would answer, "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we disbelieved and said, 'GOD did not reveal anything. You are totally astray.'"
قَالُوا۟qālūThey said,بَلَىٰbalā"Yes,قَدْqadindeedجَآءَنَاjāanā[he] came to usنَذِيرٌnadhīruna warner,فَكَذَّبْنَاfakadhabnābut we denied / disbelievedوَقُلْنَاwaqul'nāand we said,مَاmā 'Notنَزَّلَnazzala[He] sent down / revealedٱللَّهُl-lahuGodمِنminanyشَىْءٍshayinthing.إِنْinNotأَنتُمْantumyou [all] (are)إِلَّاillābutفِىfīinضَلَـٰلٍḍalālinastrayكَبِيرٍkabīringreat.'

[67:10] They also say, "If we heard or understood, we would not be among the dwellers of Hell!"
وَقَالُوا۟waqālūAnd they said,لَوْlaw"Ifكُنَّاkunnāwe used toنَسْمَعُnasmaʿu[we] hearأَوْaworنَعْقِلُnaʿqilu[we] understand,مَاmānotكُنَّاkunnāwe (would) beفِىٓfīamongأَصْحَـٰبِaṣḥābi(the) companions / dwellers (of)ٱلسَّعِيرِl-saʿīrithe Blaze / Hell." ﴿١٠﴾
[67:11] Thus, they confessed their sins. Woe to the dwellers of Hell.

[67:12] As for those who reverence their Lord, when alone in their privacy, they have attained forgiveness and a great recompense.

[67:13] Whether you keep your utterances secret, or declare them, He is fully aware of the innermost thoughts.

[67:14] Should He not know what He created? He is the Sublime, Most Cognizant.

[67:15] He is the One who put the Earth at your service. Roam its corners, and eat from His provisions. To Him is the final summoning.

[67:19] Have they not seen the birds above them lined up in columns and spreading their wings? The Most Gracious is the One who holds them in the air. He is Seer of all things.
