The All Compassionate (Al-Rahman)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ The Most Merciful 1 Bestowed the Qur'an, 2 He created man 3 He has imparted unto him articulate thought and speech. 4 The sun and the moon follow a reckoning. 5 the stars and the trees bend in prostration. 6 He raised the heaven on high and set the scale. 7 In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance. 8 So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance. 9 He set down the earth for the creation. 10 Therein is fruit and palms having sheathed clusters, 11 grain with its husk and aromatic herbs. 12 How many favours of your Lord will then both of you deny? 13 He created man from clay like that of earthenware. 14 and jinn from the many colored flames of fire. 15 Which of your Lord's wonders would you deny? 16 He is the Lord of the two easts and the Lord of the two wests. 17 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? 18 He unleashed the two seas so that they merge 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 these seas come forth pearls and coral. 22 Which, of your Lord's wonders would you deny? 23 His are the ships with elevated sails upon the sea like mountains. 24 Which of the favours of your Lord will you twain – you men and jinn – then deny? 25
