Translation 1260
who created death and life to test you [people] and reveal which of you does best––He is the Mighty, the Forgiving
Translation 1260
who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You will not see any flaw in what the Lord of Mercy creates. Look again! Can you see any flaw

almost bursting with rage. Its keepers will ask every group that is thrown in, ‘Did no one come to warn you?’
Translation 1260
