---|
55:1 | | The Mercifu |
55:2 | | hath taught his servant the Koran |
55:3 | | He created man |
55:4 | | He hath taught him distinct speech |
55:5 | | The sun and the moon run their courses according to a certain rule |
55:6 | | And the vegetables which creep on the ground, and the trees submit to his disposition |
55:7 | | He also raised the heaven; and He appointed the balance |
55:8 | | that ye should not transgress in respect to the balance |
55:9 | | Wherefore observe a just weight; and diminish not the balance |
55:10 | | And the earth hath He prepared for living creatures |
55:11 | | Therein are various fruits, and palm-trees bearing sheaths of flowers |
55:12 | | and grain having chaff, and leaves |
55:13 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:14 | | He created man of dried clay like an earthen vessel |
55:15 | | But He created the genii of fire clear from smoke |
55:16 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:17 | | He is the Lord of the east, and the Lord of the west |
55:18 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:19 | | He hath let loose the two seas, that they meet each another |
55:20 | | Between them is placed a bar which they cannot pass |
55:21 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:22 | | From them are taken forth unions and lesser pearls |
55:23 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:24 | | His also are the ships, carrying their sails aloft in the sea, like mountains |
55:25 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:26 | | Every creature which liveth on the earth is subject to decay |
55:27 | | But the glorious and honourable countenance of thy Lord shall remain for ever |
55:28 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:29 | | Unto him do all creatures which are in heaven and earth make petition: Every day is He employed in some new work |
55:30 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:31 | | We will surely attend to judge you, O men and genii, at the last day |
55:32 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:33 | | O ye collective body of genii and men, if ye be able to pass out of the confines of heaven and earth, pass forth: Ye shall not pass forth but by absolute power |
55:34 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:35 | | A flame of fire without smoke, and a smoke without flame shall be sent down upon you; and ye shall not be able to defend yourselves therefrom |
55:36 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:37 | | And when the heaven shall be rent in sunder, and shall become red as a rose, and shall melt like ointment |
55:38 | | -- Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny? - |
55:39 | | On that day neither man nor genius shall be asked concerning his sin |
55:40 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:41 | | The wicked shall be known by their marks; and they shall be taken by the forelocks, and the feet, and shall be cast into hell |
55:42 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:43 | | This is hell, which the wicked deny as a falsehood |
55:44 | | They shall pass to and fro between the same and hot boiling water |
55:45 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:46 | | But for him who dreadeth the tribunal of his Lord, are prepared two gardens |
55:47 | | -- Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny? - |
55:48 | | Planted with shady trees |
55:49 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:50 | | In each of them shall be two fountains flowing |
55:51 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:52 | | In each of them shall there be of every fruit two kinds |
55:53 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:54 | | They shall repose on couches, the linings whereof shall be of thick silk interwoven with gold: And the fruit of the two gardens shall be near at hand to gather |
55:55 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:56 | | Therein shall receive them beauteous damsels, refraining their eyes from beholding any besides their spouses: Whom no man shall have deflowered before them, neither any genius |
55:57 | | -- Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny? - |
55:58 | | Having complexions like rubies and pearls |
55:59 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:60 | | Shall the reward of good works be any other than good |
55:61 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:62 | | And besides these there shall be two other gardens |
55:63 | | -- Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny? - |
55:64 | | Of a dark green |
55:65 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:66 | | In each of them shall be two fountains pouring forth plenty of water |
55:67 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:68 | | In each of them shall be fruits, and palm-trees, and pomegranates |
55:69 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:70 | | Therein shall be agreeable and beauteous damsels |
55:71 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:72 | | Having fine black eyes; and kept in pavilions from public view |
55:73 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:74 | | Whom no man shall have deflowered, before their destined spouses, nor any genius |
55:75 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:76 | | Therein shall they delight themselves, lying on green cushions and beautiful carpets |
55:77 | | Which, therefore, of your Lord's benefits will ye ungratefully deny |
55:78 | | Blessed be the name of thy Lord, possessed of glory and honour |
