English - Chapter 55 - Ar-Rahman

AR-RAHMAN

Bestowed the Qur'an

Created man

And taught him to express clearly

The sun and moon revolve to a computation

And the grasses and the trees bow (to Him) in adoration

He raised the sky and set the Balance

So that none may err against the scales

And observe correct measure, weigh with justice, and not cheat the balance

He positioned the earth for all the creatures

There are fruits of all kinds on it, and date-palms with their clusters sheathed

Grain with husk, and fragrant grasses

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

He created man of fermented clay dried tinkling hard like earthen ware

And created jinns from the white-hot flame of fire

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

Lord of the two Easts, Lord of the two Wests

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

He has set two seas in motion that flow side by side together

With an interstice between them which they cannot cross

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

Out of them come pearls and coral

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

His are the high-sailed vessels in deep ocean like the mountains

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

All that is on the earth is passing

But abiding is the glory of your Lord, full of majesty and beneficence

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

All those there are in the heavens and the earth turn to Him with solicitation, intent on His purpose all the time

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

We shall soon be free to turn to you, O weary caravans

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

O society of jinns and men, cross the bounds of the heavens and the earth if you have the ability, then pass beyond them; but you cannot unless you acquire the law

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

Let loose at you will be smokeless flames of fire so that you will not be able to defend yourselves

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

When the sky will split asunder, and turn rosy like the dregs of annointing oil

Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny

Neither man nor jinn will be questioned on that day about his sin

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

The sinners will be recognised by their marks, and seized by the forelock and their feet

Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny

This is Hell the sinners called a lie

They will go round and around between it and boiling water

Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny

But for him who lived in awe of the sublimity of his Lord, there will be two gardens

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

Full of overhanging branches

Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny

With two springs of water flowing through them both

Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

In both of them there will be every kind of fruits in pairs

Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

Reclining there on carpets lined with brocade, fruits of the garden hanging low within reach

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

In them maidens with averted glances, undeflowered by man or by jinn before them

Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

As though rubies and pearls

Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

Should the reward of goodness be aught else but goodness

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

And besides these two other gardens

Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

Of darkest verdant green

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

With two fountains gushing constantly

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

With fruits in them, and dates and pomegranates

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

In them good and comely maidens

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

Houris cloistered in pavilions

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

Undeflowered by man or by jinn before them

How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny

Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets excellent

How many favours of your Lord will you then deny

Blessed be the name of your Lord, full of majesty and beneficience
