| 55:1 | | In the seat of truth, with a most Powerful King |
| 55:2 | | The Beneficen |
| 55:3 | | Taught the Qur’an |
| 55:4 | | He created man |
| 55:5 | | Taught him expression |
| 55:6 | | The sun and the moon follow a reckoning |
| 55:7 | | And the herbs and the trees adore (Him) |
| 55:8 | | And the heaven, He raised it high, and He set up the measure |
| 55:9 | | That you may not exceed the measure |
| 55:10 | | And keep up the balance with equity, nor fall short in the measure |
| 55:11 | | And the earth, He has set it for (His) creatures |
| 55:12 | | Therein is fruit and palms having sheathed clusters |
| 55:13 | | And the grain with (its) husk and fragrance |
| 55:14 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:15 | | He created man from dry clay like earthen vessels |
| 55:16 | | And He created the jinn of a flame of fire |
| 55:17 | | When then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:18 | | Lord of the two Easts, and Lord of the two Wests |
| 55:19 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:20 | | He has made the two seas to flow freely -- they meet |
| 55:21 | | Between them is a barrier which they cannot pass |
| 55:22 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:23 | | There come forth from them both, pearls large and small |

| 55:29 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:30 | | All those in the heavens and the earth ask of Him. Every moment He is in a state (of glory) |

| 55:32 | | Soon shall We apply Ourselves to you, O you two armies |
| 55:33 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:34 | | O assembly of jinn and men, if you are able to pass through the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass through. You cannot pass through but with authority |
| 55:35 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:36 | | The flames of fire and sparks of brass will be sent upon you, then you will not be able to defend yourselves |
| 55:37 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:38 | | So when the heaven is rent asunder, so it becomes red like red hide |

| 55:40 | | So on that day neither man or jinni will be asked about his sin |
| 55:41 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:42 | | The guilty will be known by their masks, so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet |
| 55:43 | | This is the hell which the guilty den |
| 55:44 | | Round about shall they go between it and hot, boiling water |
| 55:45 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:46 | | And for him who fears to stand before his Lord are two Gardens |
| 55:47 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:48 | | Full of varieties |
| 55:49 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:50 | | Therein are two fountains flowing |
| 55:51 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |

| 55:53 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:54 | | Reclining on beds, whose inner coverings are of silk brocade. And the fruits of the two Gardens are within reach |
| 55:55 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:56 | | Therein are those restraining their glances, whom no man nor jinni has touched before them |
| 55:57 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:58 | | As though they were rubies and pearls |
| 55:59 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:60 | | Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness |
| 55:61 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |

| 55:63 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:64 | | Inclining into blackness |
| 55:65 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
| 55:66 | | Therein are two springs gushing forth |
| 55:67 | | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny |
