2. [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 -

3. [And] who created seven heavens in layers.¹⁷¹² You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

5. And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils¹⁷¹⁴ and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

6. And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.

7. When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.

12. Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.
