55Ar-Rahmaan

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الرَّحْمَٰنُ

(Allah) Most Gracious!

عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ

It is He Who has taught the Qur'an.

خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ

He has created man:

عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ

He has taught him speech (and intelligence).

الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ

The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed;

وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ

And the herbs and the trees - both (alike) prostrate in adoration.

وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ

And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice),

أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ

In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance.

وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ

So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.

وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ

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

فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ

Therein is fruit and date-palms, producing spathes (enclosing dates);

وَالْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَالرَّيْحَانُ

Also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants.

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ

He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery,

وَخَلَقَ الْجَانَّ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ

And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke:

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ الْمَغْرِبَيْنِ

(He is) Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests:

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ

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

بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌ لَا يَبْغِيَانِ

Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress:

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْمَرْجَانُ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

وَلَهُ الْجَوَارِ الْمُنْشَآتُ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْأَعْلَامِ

And His are the Ships sailing smoothly through the seas, lofty as mountains:

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ

All that is on earth will perish:

وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour.
