| 55:1 | | AR-RAHMA |
| 55:2 | | Bestowed the Qur'an |
| 55:3 | | Created man |
| 55:4 | | And taught him to express clearly |
| 55:5 | | The sun and moon revolve to a computation |
| 55:6 | | And the grasses and the trees bow (to Him) in adoration |
| 55:7 | | He raised the sky and set the Balanc |
| 55:8 | | So that none may err against the scales |
| 55:9 | | And observe correct measure, weigh with justice, and not cheat the balance |
| 55:10 | | He positioned the earth for all the creatures |
| 55:11 | | There are fruits of all kinds on it, and date-palms with their clusters sheathed |
| 55:12 | | Grain with husk, and fragrant grasses |
| 55:13 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:14 | | He created man of fermented clay dried tinkling hard like earthen ware |
| 55:15 | | And created jinns from the white-hot flame of fire |
| 55:16 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:17 | | Lord of the two Easts, Lord of the two Wests |
| 55:18 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:19 | | He has set two seas in motion that flow side by side together |
| 55:20 | | With an interstice between them which they cannot cross |
| 55:21 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:22 | | Out of them come pearls and coral |
| 55:23 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:24 | | His are the high-sailed vessels in deep ocean like the mountains |
| 55:25 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:26 | | All that is on the earth is passing |
| 55:27 | | But abiding is the glory of your Lord, full of majesty and beneficence |
| 55:28 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:29 | | All those there are in the heavens and the earth turn to Him with solicitation, intent on His purpose all the time |
| 55:30 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:31 | | We shall soon be free to turn to you, O weary caravans |
| 55:32 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:33 | | O society of jinns and men, cross the bounds of the heavens and the earth if you have the ability, then pass beyond them; but you cannot unless you acquire the law |
| 55:34 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:35 | | Let loose at you will be smokeless flames of fire so that you will not be able to defend yourselves |
| 55:36 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:37 | | When the sky will split asunder, and turn rosy like the dregs of annointing oil |
| 55:38 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:39 | | Neither man nor jinn will be questioned on that day about his sin |
| 55:40 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:41 | | The sinners will be recognised by their marks, and seized by the forelock and their feet |
| 55:42 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:43 | | This is Hell the sinners called a lie |
| 55:44 | | They will go round and around between it and boiling water |
| 55:45 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:46 | | But for him who lived in awe of the sublimity of his Lord, there will be two gardens - |
| 55:47 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:48 | | Full of overhanging branches - |
| 55:49 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will you then deny? - |
| 55:50 | | With two springs of water flowing through them both. - |
| 55:51 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:52 | | In both of them there will be every kind of fruits in pairs. - |
| 55:53 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:54 | | Reclining there on carpets lined with brocade, fruits of the garden hanging low within reach |
| 55:55 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:56 | | In them maidens with averted glances, undeflowered by man or by jinn before them, - |
| 55:57 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:58 | | As though rubies and pearls |
| 55:59 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny |
| 55:60 | | Should the reward of goodness be aught else but goodness? - |
| 55:61 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:62 | | And besides these two other gardens - |
| 55:63 | | Which of the favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:64 | | Of darkest verdant green - |
| 55:65 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:66 | | With two fountains gushing constantly, - |
| 55:67 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:68 | | With fruits in them, and dates and pomegranates - |
| 55:69 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:70 | | In them good and comely maidens - |
| 55:71 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? - |
| 55:72 | | Houris cloistered in pavilions - |
| 55:73 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny? - |
| 55:74 | | Undeflowered by man or by jinn before them, - |
| 55:75 | | How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? - |
| 55:76 | | Reclining on green cushions and rich carpets excellent |
| 55:77 | | How many favours of your Lord will you then deny |
| 55:78 | | Blessed be the name of your Lord, full of majesty and beneficience |
