55:1  The Almighty

55:2  taught the Quran.

55:3  He created the human being.

55:4  He taught him the art of expression.

55:5  The sun and the moon, running with utmost precision,

55:6  and the stars and the trees prostrate.

55:7  And the heaven, He raised it and set the balance.

55:8  So do not transgress in the balance.

55:9  Establish the weight justly, and do not undercut the balance.

55:10  And the earth, He appointed it for the creatures.

55:11  In it are fruits and palm trees with hanging fruit,

55:12  and grains with husks and fragrant herbs.

55:13  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:14  He created the human being from clay like pottery,

55:15  and He created the jinn from a fusion of fire.

55:16  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:17  The Lord of the two sunrises and the Lord of the two sunsets.

55:18  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:19  He merged the two seas, and they converge together,

55:20  yet a barrier lies between them which they do not transgress.

55:21  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:22  Out of both of them come pearls and coral.

55:23  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:24  To Him belong the constructed ships, sailing in the sea like flags.

55:25  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:26  All who are on it will perish,

55:27  and there remains the Face of your Lord, the Possessor of Majesty and Generosity.

55:28  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:29  Imploring Him are those in the heavens and the earth. Every day He sees to some matter.

55:30  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:31  We shall deal with you, both of you weighty ones.

55:32  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:33  O tribes of jinn and humans, if you are able to penetrate through the regions of the heavens and the earth, then go ahead and penetrate. You will not penetrate without authorisation.

55:34  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:35  Fire and smoke projectiles will be unleashed upon you, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.

55:36  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:37  And when the heaven splits open, becoming a rose as in a painting,

55:38  so which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:39  On that Day, no human being or jinn will be asked about his sins.

55:40  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:41  The criminals will be recognised by their features, then to be seized by the forelocks and the feet.

55:42  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:43  This is Hell that the criminals deny.

55:44  They will go back and forth between it and a boiling, scalding liquid.

55:45  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:46  And for those who feared the position of their Lord are two Gardens.

55:47  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:48  Both contain shading branches.

55:49  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:50  In them are two flowing springs.

55:51  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:52  In them are two kinds of every fruit.

55:53  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:54  They will be reclining on beddings whose linings are of brocade and with the reaping of the two Gardens within reach.

55:55  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:56  In them are maidens with subdued glances, untouched before them by any human being or jinn.

55:57  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:58  As though they were rubies and coral.

55:59  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:60  Is the reward of goodness anything other than goodness?

55:61  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:62  Besides these are two other Gardens.

55:63  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:64  They are dark green in colour.

55:65  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:66  In them are two gushing springs.

55:67  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:68  In them are fruits and palm trees and pomegranates.

55:69  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:70  In them are fine beautiful ones.

55:71  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:72  Beautiful maidens, secluded in pavilions.

55:73  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:74  Untouched before them by any human being or jinn.

55:75  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:76  They will be reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets.

55:77  So which of your Lord's favours do you deny?

55:78  Blessed be the name of your Lord, the Possessor of Majesty and Generosity.
