English - Chapter 55 - Ar-Rahman

God, the Merciful Benefactor

It is He Who has taught the Quran

He has created the human being

He has taught him speech

The Sun and the Moon follow courses computed

And the herbs and the trees both bow in adoration

And the firmament has He raised high, and He has established the balance

In order that you may not transgress the balance

So establish weight with justice, and do not fall short with balance

It is He Who has spread out the earth for His creatures

Therein is fruit and date palms producing spathes

Also corn with leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

He created the human being from sounding clay like pottery

And He created jinn from fire free of smoke

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

He has let free the two bodies of flowing water meeting together

Between them is a barrier that they do not transgress

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Out of them come pearls and coral

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

And His are the ships sailing smoothly through the seas lofty as mountains

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

All that is on earth will perish

But will live forever is the Face of your Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty, and Honor

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Of Him seeks every creature in the heavens and on earth. Every day in splendor does He shine

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Soon will We settle your affairs, O both you worlds

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

O you assembly of jinns and humans. If you can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass. But not without power will you be able to pass

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

On you will be sent a flame of fire and smoke, no defense will you have

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

When the sky is rent asunder, and it becomes red like ointment

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

On that day no question will be asked of human or jinn as to his harmful deeds

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

The wrong-doers will be known by their marks, and they will be seized by their hair and their feet

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

This is the hell which those who are corrupt deny

In it and in boiling hot water which they will wander round

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

But for those who fear the time when they will stand before their Lord, there will be two gardens

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Containing plants of all kind

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

In them will be two flowing springs

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

In them will be fruits of every kind, two and two

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

They will recline on carpets, whose inner linings will be of rich brocade. The fruit of the gardens will be near

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

In them will be those who are chaste, restraining their glances, whom neither human nor jinn has touched before

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Like unto rubies and coral

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Is there any reward for good, other than good

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

And besides these two, there are two other gardens

Dark-green in color

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

In them will be two springs pouring forth water in continuous abundance

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

In them will be fruit, dates and pomegranates

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

In them will be those good, and beautiful

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Companions subtle, in pavilions

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Whom no human or jinn has touched before them

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets of beauty

Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny

Blessed is the name of your Lord, Full of Majesty, Bounty, and Honor
