[67:27]

But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.

[67:28]

Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom ?

[67:29]

Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.

[67:30]

Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water ?

The Pen

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[68:1]

Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),

[68:2]

Thou art not, for thy Lord’s favour unto thee, a madman.

[68:3]

And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing.

[68:4]

And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.

[68:5]

And thou wilt see and they will see

[68:6]

Which of you is the demented.

[68:7]

Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.

[68:8]

Therefor obey not thou the rejecters

[68:9]

Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.

[68:10]

Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger,

[68:11]

Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders,

[68:12]

Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor

[68:13]

Greedy therewithal, intrusive.

[68:14]

It is because he is possessed of wealth and children

[68:15]

That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old.
