Surah “The Beneficent, The Mercy Giving, The Merciful”

as rendered by Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri — 78 verses

Ar-Rahman!
He has taught the Qur'an.
He created man.
He taught him Al-Bayan.
The sun and the moon (run) on fixed courses.
And the Najm and the trees prostrating.
And the heaven He has raised high, and He has set up the balance.
In order that you may not transgress the balance.
And observe the weight with equity and do not make the balance deficient.

Therein are fruits, date palms producing Akmam.
And also corn, with (its) `Asf, and Rayhan.
