55. Ar-Rahman - The Most Gracious
| 1 | AR-RAHMAN |
| 2 | Bestowed the Qur'an, |
| 3 | Created man, |
| 4 | And taught him to express clearly. |
| 5 | The sun and moon revolve to a computation; |
| 6 | And the grasses and the trees bow (to Him) in adoration. |
| 7 | He raised the sky and set the Balance |
| 8 | So that none may err against the scales, |
| 9 | And observe correct measure, weigh with justice, and not cheat the balance. |
| 10 | He positioned the earth for all the creatures: |
| 11 | There are fruits of all kinds on it, and date-palms with their clusters sheathed, |
| 12 | Grain with husk, and fragrant grasses. |
| 13 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 14 | He created man of fermented clay dried tinkling hard like earthen ware, |
| 15 | And created jinns from the white-hot flame of fire. |
| 16 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 17 | Lord of the two Easts, Lord of the two Wests. |
| 18 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 19 | He has set two seas in motion that flow side by side together, |
| 20 | With an interstice between them which they cannot cross. |
| 21 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 22 | Out of them come pearls and coral. |
| 23 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 24 | His are the high-sailed vessels in deep ocean like the mountains. |
| 25 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 26 | All that is on the earth is passing, |
| 27 | But abiding is the glory of your Lord, full of majesty and beneficence. |
| 28 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 29 | All those there are in the heavens and the earth turn to Him with solicitation, intent on His purpose all the time. |
| 30 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 31 | We shall soon be free to turn to you, O weary caravans, |
| 32 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 33 | 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. |
| 34 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 35 | Let loose at you will be smokeless flames of fire so that you will not be able to defend yourselves. |
| 36 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 37 | When the sky will split asunder, and turn rosy like the dregs of annointing oil, |
| 38 | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 39 | Neither man nor jinn will be questioned on that day about his sin. |
| 40 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 41 | The sinners will be recognised by their marks, and seized by the forelock and their feet. |
| 42 | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 43 | This is Hell the sinners called a lie. |
| 44 | They will go round and around between it and boiling water. |
| 45 | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 46 | But for him who lived in awe of the sublimity of his Lord, there will be two gardens -- |
| 47 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 48 | Full of overhanging branches -- |
| 49 | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny? -- |
| 50 | With two springs of water flowing through them both. -- |
| 51 | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 52 | In both of them there will be every kind of fruits in pairs. -- |
| 53 | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 54 | Reclining there on carpets lined with brocade, fruits of the garden hanging low within reach. |
| 55 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 56 | In them maidens with averted glances, undeflowered by man or by jinn before them, -- |
| 57 | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 58 | As though rubies and pearls. |
| 59 | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? |
| 60 | Should the reward of goodness be aught else but goodness? -- |
| 61 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 62 | And besides these two other gardens -- |
| 63 | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 64 | Of darkest verdant green -- |
| 65 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 66 | With two fountains gushing constantly, -- |
| 67 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 68 | With fruits in them, and dates and pomegranates -- |
| 69 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 70 | In them good and comely maidens -- |
| 71 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? -- |
| 72 | Houris cloistered in pavilions -- |
| 73 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? -- |
| 74 | Undeflowered by man or by jinn before them, -- |
| 75 | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? -- |
| 76 | Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets excellent. |
| 77 | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? |
| 78 | Blessed be the name of your Lord, full of majesty and beneficience. |
