English - Chapter 55 - Ar-Rahman

IT IS the Merciful

who has taught the Koran

He created man

and taught him articulate speech

The sun and the moon pursue their ordered course

The plants and the trees bow down in adoration

The heaven He raised on high and set the Balance of all things

that you might not transgress that Balance

Give just weight and full measure, and do not cheat the Balance

And the earth He laid for His creatures

with all its fruits and blossom-bearing palm

chaff-covered grain and scented herbs

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you² deny

He created man from potter‘s clay

and the jinn from smokeless fire

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

The Lord of the two easts³ is He, and the Lord of the two wests

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

He has let loose the two seas:⁴ they meet one another

Yet between them stands a barrier which they cannot overrun

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Pearls and corals come out from both

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

His are the ships that sail like mountains upon the ocean

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

All that live on earth are doomed to die

But the face of your Lord will abide for ever, in all its majesty and glory

All who dwell in heaven and earth entreat Him. Each day some mighty task engages Him

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Jinn and mankind, We shall surely find the time to judge you

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

You race of jinn and mankind, if you have power to penetrate the confines of heaven and earth, then penetrate them. But this you shall not do except with Our own authority

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Flames of fire shall be lashed at you, and molten brass. There shall be none to help you

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

When the sky splits asunder, and reddens like a rose or stained leather

so which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

on that day neither man nor jinnee will be asked about his sins

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

The transgressors will be known by their looks; they shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

That is the Hell the transgressors deny

They shall wander between fire and water fiercely seething

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

But for those that fear the majesty of their Lord there are two Gardens

so which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

planted with shady trees

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Each is watered by a flowing spring

Which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Each bears every kind of fruit in pairs

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

They shall recline on couches lined with rich brocade, and within reach will hang the fruits of both Gardens

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Virgins as fair as corals and rubies

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Shall the reward of goodness be anything but good

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

And beside these there shall be two other Gardens

so which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

of darkest green

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

A gushing fountain shall flow in each

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Each planted with fruit-trees, the palm and the pomegranate

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Dark-eyed virgins, sheltered in their tents

so which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

They shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets

So which of your Lord‘s blessings would you deny

Blessed be the name of your Lord, the Lord of Majesty and Glory
