Surah Ar-Rahman
ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ
The Most Compassionate
عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ
taught the Quran,
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ
created humanity,
عَلَّمَهُ ٱلْبَيَانَ
˹and˺ taught them speech.
ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ
The sun and the moon ˹travel˺ with precision.
وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
The stars and the trees bow down ˹in submission˺.1
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلْمِيزَانَ
As for the sky, He raised it ˹high˺, and set the balance ˹of justice˺
أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْمِيزَانِ
so that you do not defraud the scales.
وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ
Weigh with justice, and do not give short measure.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ
He laid out the earth for all beings.
فِيهَا فَـٰكِهَةٌ وَٱلنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ ٱلْأَكْمَامِ
In it are fruit, palm trees with date stalks,
وَٱلْحَبُّ ذُو ٱلْعَصْفِ وَٱلرَّيْحَانُ
and grain with husks, and aromatic plants.
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
Then which of your Lord’s favours will you ˹humans and jinn˺ both deny?1
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن صَلْصَـٰلٍ كَٱلْفَخَّارِ
He created humankind from ˹sounding˺ clay like pottery,
وَخَلَقَ ٱلْجَآنَّ مِن مَّارِجٍ مِّن نَّارٍ
and created jinn from a ˹smokeless˺ flame of fire.
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?
رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَغْرِبَيْنِ
˹He is˺ Lord of the two easts and the two wests.1
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?
مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ
He merges the two bodies of ˹fresh and salt˺ water,
بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌ لَّا يَبْغِيَانِ
yet between them is a barrier they never cross.1
