Surah Ar-Rahman: The Most Gracious
Revealed at Makkah
With the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Rewarding
55:1
Ar-Rahman!
55:2
He taught the Qur-an.
55:3
He created Man;
55:4
He taught him distinct speech.
55:5
The sun and the moon are in a reckoning;
55:6
and the herbs and the trees do adore.
55:7
And the sky,— He has raised it high, and He has set up the Balance,
55:8
so that you may not transgress in the Balance!
55:9
And keep up the weighing with justice, and do not diminish in the Balance.
55:10
And the earth,— He has spread it up for creatures.
55:11
In it are fruits and date-palms having sheaths;
55:12
and grains having husk and the fragrant flowers.
55:13
Which then of the bounties of your Rabb will you two deny?
55:14
He created man from sounding clay like the pottery.
55:15
And He created the Jinn from a flame of fire.
55:16
Which then of the bounties of your Rabb will you two deny?
55:17
The Rabb of the two Easts, and Rabb of the two Wests.
55:18
Which then of the bounties of your Rabb will you two deny?
55:19
He makes the two seas flow freely— they will be meeting together;—
55:20
between them is a barrier— they cannot trespass.
