Ahmed Hulusi rendition of Surah The Beneficent, The Mercy Giving, The Merciful(ar-Rahman)
---
55:1 Rahman (the possessor of all of the qualities referenced by the Beautiful Names),
55:2 Taught the Quran (formed the qualities pertaining to the dimension of Names).
55:3 Created man,
55:4 And taught him eloquence (manifested the Names on man) (as Hadhrat Ali says, “Man became a talking Quran.”);
55:5 The Sun (comprehension) and the Moon (emotion – feeling) are with a measure (in levels).
55:6 The star (ideas) and the tree (the body) are in prostration (in a state of nonexistence in the sight of the Names).
55:7 He has raised the heaven (consciousness; from the level of the self-accusing self [nafs-i lawwama] to the level of the pleasing self [nafs-i mardhiya]) and established a balance (the ability to live in balance of unity and multiplicity).
55:8 That you do not do injustice to that balance (so that you do not go to extreme in one and thus be deprived of the other).
55:9 Evaluate justly (according to the laws of Uluhiyyah) and do not become losers by failing to live by that balance!
55:10 And upon the earth (the body) He formed the creatures (the microuniverse)!
55:11 Therein (on earth) is a fruit (man), like palm trees (brain) full of sheathed clusters (ready and receptive)!
55:12 And sprouted grains (blossoming observations of the reality) and pleasantly scented plants (behaviors pertaining to the reality of man).
55:13 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:14 He created man (the body) from processed dry clay (the formation of the cellular structure).
55:15 And He created the jann (the invisible beings; the jinn) from a smokeless flame of fire (radiation, radiant energy, electromagnetic wave body).
55:16 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:17 He is the Rabb of the two easts (the world and the eternal life after death) and the Rabb of the two wests (the world and the dimension of the grave).
55:18 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:19 He let loose the two seas (angelic and animalistic tendencies; the universal consciousness and the individual consciousness); they meet together.
55:20 Yet between them is a barrier; which they do not transgress (both fulfill their own functions within their own field).
55:21 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:22 From them comes forth the pearl and the coral (various qualities).
55:23 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:24 To Him belong the constructed ships (bodies) that sail like mountains (constructed identities – ego) in the sea (the knowledge of the reality)!
55:25 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:26 Everyone on the earth (corporeal life) is transitory (every sense of self - identity or individual consciousness will taste death).
55:27 Baqi (eternal, without being subject to the concept of time) is the face (the absolute reality) of your Rabb (the meanings of the Names comprising your essence), the Dhul-Jalali Wal-Ikram
55:28 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:29 Everything in the heavens and the earth asks from Him; at every instance HU (the Absolute Essence of Existence) manifests Himself in yet another way!
55:30 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:31 Soon We shall attend to you (for account), O guilt laden community of man and jinn!
55:32 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:33 O communities of jinn and man, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass (live without a body)! But you cannot pass unless you possess the power (the manifestation of Allah’s attribute of Power [Qadir] on you).
55:34 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:35 There will be sent upon (both of) you a flame of fire and smoke (ambiguity and confusion in your consciousness), and you will not be successful!
55:36 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:37 And when (during death) the heaven (the identity; ego) is split asunder and (the reality) becomes (undeniably clear and the ego-self disappears) burnt oil colored, like a rose (the reality is observed)!
55:38 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:39 At that time none among men or jinn will be asked about his offences (they will begin to live the natural consequences of their deeds)!
55:40 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:41 The guilty will be recognized by their faces (the reflection of their disposition) and seized by their foreheads and feet.
55:42 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:43 This is the Hell the guilty ones denied!
55:44 They will go around between it and boiling water (the burning value judgments brought by their conditionings).
55:45 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:46 There are two Paradises for the one who fears the position of His Rabb (action and sensation – Paradises of meaning).
55:47 So, which of the favors of your Rabb (the Names comprising your essence – your consciousness and body) will you deny?
55:48 With various branches (life qualities) spread out (in both Paradises).

55:50 In both of them are two springs, flowing!
