| 55:1 | | The Mercy-giving, |
| 55:2 | | has taught the Reading, |
| 55:3 | | created man, |
| 55:4 | | taught him self-expression. |
| 55:5 | | The sun and moon [move along] like clockwork, |
| 55:6 | | shrubs and trees both bend in worship; |
| 55:7 | | while He has raised the sky up and placed scales [there] |
| 55:8 | | so you may not skimp in weighing. |
| 55:9 | | Always measure accurately with [all]fairness and do not give short weight! |
| 55:10 | | The earth has He laid out for humanity, |
| 55:11 | | offering fruit, datepalms bearing blossoms, |
| 55:12 | | grain wrapped up in husks, and fragrant herbs. |
| 55:13 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:14 | | He created man from ringing clay just as a potter does, |
| 55:15 | | while He created sprites from the glow in fire. |
| 55:16 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will you both deny? |
| 55:17 | | Lord of both Easts and Lord of both Wests! |
| 55:18 | | So which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:19 | | He has loosed both seas which still come together; |
| 55:20 | | between them lies an isthmus which neither tries to cross. |
| 55:21 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:22 | | He produces pearls and coral from them both; |
| 55:23 | | so which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:24 | | His are the vessels looming up like landmarks on the sea; |
| 55:25 | | so which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:26 | | Everyone upon it will disappear |
| 55:27 | | while your Lord´s face will remain full of majesty and splendor, |
| 55:28 | | So which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:29 | | Everyone in Heaven and Earth asks for something from Him; each day He is [Busy] at some task. |
| 55:30 | | So which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:31 | | We shall finish off both loads for you; |
| 55:32 | | so which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny.? |
| 55:33 | | 0 company of sprites and humankind, if you can manage to penetrate beyond the realms of Heaven and Earth and then pass beyond them! Yet you will only penetrate them through some authority. |
| 55:34 | | So which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:35 | | A flare of fire and sparks will be loosed against you, from which neither of you will be protected; |
| 55:36 | | so which of our Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:37 | | When the sky splits open and becomes like a rose [painted] by some artist, |
| 55:38 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:39 | | On that day, no man nor any sprite will be questioned about any offence of his; |
| 55:40 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:41 | | Criminals will be recognized by their features, and seized by their forelocks and feet; |
| 55:42 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:43 | | Such is Hell, which criminals deny exists. |
| 55:44 | | They will circle around between it and a seething bath. |
| 55:45 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:46 | | Yet anyone who fears to stand before his Lord will have two gardens |
| 55:47 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:48 | | Both containing many sorts of things |
| 55:49 | | so which of your Lord´s will both of you deny? |
| 55:50 | | Each will have two flowing springs; |
| 55:51 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:52 | | Each will have a pair forever kind of fruit; |
| 55:53 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:54 | | They will recline on couches upholstered in brocade while the harvest from both orchards droops nearby; |
| 55:55 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:56 | | Bashful maidens will be there whom no human being has tampered with previously, nor an sprite. |
| 55:57 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:58 | | They will be like rubies and coral; |
| 55:59 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:60 | | Is there any reward for kindness except kindness itself? |
| 55:61 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? Two Extra Gardens |
| 55:62 | | Besides both of these, there will be two extra gardens; |
| 55:63 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:64 | | Both densely shaded; |
| 55:65 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:66 | | Each will have two splashing fountains; |
| 55:67 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny´? |
| 55:68 | | Both will have fruit, datepalms and pomegranates; |
| 55:69 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:70 | | In them there will be the best, the fairest women! |
| 55:71 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:72 | | Bright-eyed damsels sheltered in pavilions; |
| 55:73 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:74 | | Whom no human being has tainted previously, nor any sprites! |
| 55:75 | | So which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:76 | | They will lean back on green cushions and handsome carpets; |
| 55:77 | | so which of your Lord´s benefits will both of you deny? |
| 55:78 | | Blessed be your Lord´s name, Possessor of Majesty and Splendor! |
