الرَّحْمَنُ
{١}
The Most Compassionate,
The Blessings of Allah and the mankind’s ingratitude
Ar-Rahmān (the Entirely Merciful)
عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ {٢}
has taught the Qur’an,
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ
{٣}
He created man,
عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ
{٤}
and taught him speech.
الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ
{٥}
The sun and the moon follow their precise courses,
وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
{٦}
and the stars and trees prostrate [to Allah].
وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ {٧}
He raised the heaven and enjoined justice
أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ
{٨}
so that you may not transgress the limits of justice
وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ {٩}
Therefore establish weights in justice, and do not give short measure.
وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ
{١٠}
He has spread out the earth for all creatures,
فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ
{١١}
in which there are fruits and palm trees with date stalks,
وَالْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَالرَّيْحَانُ
{١٢}
and grain having chaff, and fragrant plants.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{١٣}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ
{١٤}
He created man from dry clay like pottery,
وَخَلَقَ الْجَانَّ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ
{١٥}
and He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{١٦}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ الْمَغْرِبَيْنِ
{١٧}
[He is] Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{١٨}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ
{١٩}
He merges the two seas [of fresh and salty water] meeting together,
بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌ لَا يَبْغِيَانِ
{٢٠}
yet between them is a barrier so that they do not cross.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{٢١}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْمَرْجَانُ
{٢٢}
Out of both of them emerge pearls and coral.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{٢٣}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
وَلَهُ الْجَوَارِ الْمُنْشَآتُ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْأَعْلَامِ
{٢٤}
To Him belong the sailing ships raised up in the sea like mountains.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{٢٥}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ
{٢٦}
Everyone on earth will perish,
وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ
{٢٧}
but there will remain the Face of your Lord, full of Majesty and Honor.
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
{٢٨}
Then which of the favors of your Lord will you [men and jinn] deny?
