AL RAHMAN (The Most Gracious)
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
1 The most gracious!
2 It is he who has taught the Quran.
3 He has created man:
4 He has taught him speech.
5 The sun and the moon follow courses computed;
6 And the herbs and the trees both bow in adoration.
7 And the sky has he raised high, and he has set up the balance,
8 In order that you may not transgress the balance.
9 So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.
10 It is he who has spread out the earth for creatures:
11 In it is fruit and date palms producing hanging fruit;
12 Also corn, with leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet smelling plants.
13 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
14 He created man from sounding clay like pottery,
15 And he created Jinns from fire free of smoke:
16 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
17 Lord of the two easts and Lord of the two wests:
18 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
19 He has let free the two bodies of flowing water, meeting together:
20 Between them is a barrier which they do not transgress:
21 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
22 Out of them come pearls and coral:
23 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
24 And his are the ships sailing smoothly through the seas, lofty as mountains:
25 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
26 All that is on earth will perish:
27 But the face of your Lord will remain, full of majesty, bounty and honour.
28 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
29 Every creature in the heavens and on earth seeks him: every day in splendour does he shine!
30 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
31 Soon shall we settle your affairs, O both you worlds!
32 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
33 O you assembly of Jinns and men! If it be you can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass! Not without authority shall you be able to pass!
34 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
35 On you will be sent a flame of fire and a smoke: no defence will you have:
36 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
37 When the sky is torn open, and it becomes red like ointment:
38 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
39 On that day no question will be asked of man or Jinn as to his sin,
40 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
41 The sinners will be known by their marks: and they will be seized by their forelocks and their feet.
42 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
43 This is the hell which the sinners deny:
44 In its midst and in the midst of boiling hot water will they wander round!
45 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
46 But for such as fear the time when they will stand before their Lord, there will be two gardens.
47 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
48 Containing all kinds;
49 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
50 In them will be two flowing springs;
51 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
52 In them will be fruits of every kind, two and two.
53 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
54 They will recline on carpets, whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: the fruit of the gardens will be near.
55 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
56 In them will be chaste ones, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched;
57 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
58 Like rubies and coral.
59 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
60 Is there any reward for good other than good?
61 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
62 And besides these two, there are two other gardens,
63 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
64 Dark green in colour.
65 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
66 In them will be two springs pouring forth water in continuous abundance:
67 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
68 In them will be fruits, and dates and pomegranates:
69 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
70 In them will be fair ones, good and beautiful;
71 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
72 Companions restrained in tents;
73 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
74 Whom no man or Jinn before them has touched;
75 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
76 Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets of beauty.
77 Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
78 Blessed be the name of your Lord, full of majesty, bounty and honour.
