Surah 55 - Al Rahman THE MOST GRACIOUS
055.001 (God) Most Gracious!
055.002 It is He Who has taught the Qur'an.
055.003 He has created man:
055.004 He has taught him speech (and intelligence).
055.005 The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed;
055.006 And the herbs and the trees - both (alike) bow in adoration.
055.007 And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice),
055.008 In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance.
055.009 So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.
055.010 It is He Who has spread out the earth for (His) creatures:
055.011 Therein is fruit and date-palms, producing spathes (enclosing dates);
055.012 Also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants.
055.013 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.014 He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery,
055.015 And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke:
055.016 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.017 (He is) Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests:
055.018 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.019 He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together:
055.020 Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress:
055.021 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.022 Out of them come Pearls and Coral:
055.023 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.024 And His are the Ships sailing smoothly through the seas, lofty as mountains:
055.025 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.026 All that is on earth will perish:
055.027 But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour.
055.028 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
055.029 Of Him seeks (its need) every creature in the heavens and on earth: every day in (new) Splendour doth He (shine)!
055.030 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
