The All Compassionate (Al-Rahman)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ The Merciful 1 who taught the Quran -- 2 He has created man: 3 and taught him its pronunciation. 4 The sun and the moon follow a reckoning, 5 the stars and the trees bend in prostration. 6 and He has raised up the heaven and has set a balance 7 Do not transgress the scales. 8 Always measure with justice and do not give short measure. 9 He positioned the earth for all the creatures: 10 therein fruits, and palm-trees with sheaths, 11 Grain with husk, and fragrant grasses. 12 So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? 13 He created man from clay like that of earthenware. 14 and has created the jinn from the flame of fire. 15 Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? 16 Lord of the Two Easts, Lord of the Two Wests, 17 Which of your Lord's wonders would you deny? 18 He has set the two oceans in motion, converging together. 19 Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress: 20 So O men and jinns! Which favour of your Lord will you deny? 21 From both of them emerge pearl and coral. 22 Which, then, of your Sustainer's powers can you disavow? 23 By His command, the ships with raised masts sail on the sea like mountains. 24 How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? 25
