Surah Ar Rahman

Quran Chapter 55

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1The Compassionate.

2He taught the Quran.

3He created the human being.

4And He taught him eloquence.

5The sun and the moon adhere to calculations.

6The stars and the trees prostrate.

7He raised the sky and established the balance.

8So don’t upset the balance.

9Maintain the weight with justice, and don’t fall short in the balance.

10He spread out the earth for all creatures.

11Within it are fruits and date palms bearing clusters of date.

12And grains within husks, and aromatic herbs.

13So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

14He created man from clay, akin to pottery.

15And He created the jinn from a scorching flame of fire.

16So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

17Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests.

18So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

19He released the two seas, meeting side by side.

20Between them is a barrier they don’t transgress.

21So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

22From both of them emerge pearls and coral.

23So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

24His are the ships, towering on the sea like landmarks.

25So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

26Everyone on it will perish.

27Only the presence of your Lord, full of majesty and honor, will remain.

28So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

29Everyone in the heavens and earth asks of Him. Every day, He is engaged in some affair.

30So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

31We will attend to you, O prominent species.

32So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

33O congregation of jinn and humans, if you can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass. However, you can’t pass without authorization.

34So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

35You’ll be bombarded with a shower of flames and smoke, and you won’t succeed.

36So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

37When the sky is ripped apart, and it becomes a rose, like paint.

38So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

39On that Day, no man or jinn will be asked about his sins.

40So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

41The guilty will be recognized by their marks, and they’ll be seized by the forelocks and the feet.

42So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

43This is Hell, which the guilty denied.

44They will circulate between it and a seething bath.

45So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

46But for anyone who fears standing before his Lord, there are two Gardens.

47So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

48Brimming with variety.

49So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

50In them, two springs are flowing.

51So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

52In them is every kind of fruit in pairs.

53So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

54Reclining on couches lined with brocade, the fruit of the two Gardens near at hand.

55So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

56Within them are maidens, restraining their glances, whom before them no man or jinni has deflowered.

57So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

58As if they were rubies and coral.

59So, which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?

60Is there any reward for Good—other than Good?

64Intensely dark green.

72With captivating eyes, secluded within pavilions.

74Untouched before by either man or jinn.

76Reclining on green cushions and splendid carpets.
