55. Ar-Rahmaan

1 The Beneficent

2 Hath made known the Qur'an

3 He hath created man

4 He hath taught him utterance

5 The sun and the moon are made punctual

6 The stars and the trees prostrate

7 And the sky He hath uplifted; and He hath set the measure

8 That ye exceed not the measure

9 But observe the measure strictly, nor fall short thereof

10 And the earth hath He appointed for (His) creatures

11 Wherein are fruit and sheathed palm-trees

12 Husked grain and scented herb

13 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

14 He created man of clay like the potter's

15 And the jinn did He create of smokeless fire

16 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

17 Lord of the two Easts, and Lord of the two Wests

18 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

19 He hath loosed the two seas. They meet

20 There is a barrier between them. They encroach not (one upon the other)

21 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

22 There cometh forth from both of them the pearl and coral-stone

23 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

24 His are the ships displayed upon the sea, like banners

25 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

26 Everyone that is thereon will pass away

27 There remaineth but the Countenance of thy Lord of Might and Glory

28 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

29 All that are in the heavens and the earth entreat Him. Every day He exerciseth (universal) power

30 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

31 We shall dispose of you, O ye two dependents (man and jinn)

32 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

33 O company of jinn and men, if ye have power to penetrate (all) regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate (them)! Ye will never penetrate them save with (Our) sanction

34 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

35 There will be sent, against you both, heat of fire and flash of brass, and ye will not escape

36 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

37 And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh rosy like red hide

38 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

39 On that day neither man nor jinni will be questioned of his sin

40 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

41 The guilty will be known by their marks, and will be taken by the forelocks and the feet

42 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

43 This is hell which the guilty deny

44 They go circling round between it and fierce, boiling water

45 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

46 But for him who feareth the standing before his Lord there are two gardens

47 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

48 Of spreading branches

49 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

50 Wherein are two fountains flowing

51 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

52 Wherein is every kind of fruit in pairs

53 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

54 Reclining upon couches lined with silk brocade, the fruit of both the gardens near to hand

55 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

56 Therein are those of modest gaze, whom neither man nor jinni will have touched before them

57 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

58 (In beauty) like the jacynth and the coral-stone

59 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

60 Is the reward of goodness aught save goodness

61 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

62 And beside them are two other gardens

63 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

64 Dark green with foliage

65 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

66 Wherein are two abundant springs

67 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

68 Wherein is fruit, the date-palm and pomegranate

69 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

70 Wherein (are found) the good and beautiful

71 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

72 Fair ones, close-guarded in pavilions

73 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

74 Whom neither man nor jinni will have touched before them

75 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

76 Reclining on green cushions and fair carpets

77 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny

78 Blessed be the name of thy Lord, Mighty and glorious
