In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compa**ionate 55:1 The All-merciful has taught the Koran. He created man and He has taught him the Explanation. The sun and the moon to a reckoning, 55:5 and the stars and the trees bow themselves; and heaven -- He raised it up, and set the Balance. (Transgress not in the Balance, and weigh with justice, and skimp not in the Balance.) And earth -- He set it down for all beings, 55:10 therein fruits, and palm-trees with sheaths, and grain in the blade, and fragrant herbs. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? He created man of a clay like the potter's, and He created the jinn of a smokeless fire. 55:15 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? Lord of the Two Easts, Lord of the Two Wests, O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? 55:20 He let forth the two seas that meet together, between them a barrier they do not overpa**. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? From them come forth the pearl and the coral. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? His too are the ships that run, raised up in the sea like land-marks. 55:25 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? All that dwells upon the earth is perishing, yet still abides the Face of thy Lord, majestic, splendid. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth implore Him; every day He is upon some labour. 55:30 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? We shall surely attend to you at leisure, you weight and you weight! O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? O tribe of jinn and of men, if you are able to pa** through the confines of heaven and earth, pa** through them! You shall not pa** through except with an authority. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? 55:35 Against you shall be loosed a flame of fire, and molten bra**; and you shall not be helped. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? And when heaven is split asunder, and turns crimson like red leather -- O which of our Lord's bounties will you and you deny? on that day none shall be questioned about his sin, neither man nor jinn.
55:40 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? The sinners shall be known by their mark, and they shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet. O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? This is Gehenna, that sinners cried lies to; they shall go round between it and between hot, boiling water. 55:45 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? But such as fears the Station of his Lord, for them shall be two gardens -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? abounding in branches -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? 55:50 therein two fountains of running water -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? therein of every fruit two kinds -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? reclining upon couches lined with brocade, the fruits of the gardens nigh to gather -- 55:55 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? therein maidens restraining their glances, untouched before them by any man or jinn -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? lovely as rubies, beautiful as coral -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? 55:60 Shall the recompense of goodness be other than goodness? O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? And besides these shall be two gardens -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? green, green pastures -- 55:65 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? therein two fountains of gushing water -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? therein fruits, and palm-trees, and pomegranates -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? 55:70 therein maidens good and comely -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? houris, cloistered in cool pavilions -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? untouched before them by any man or jinn -- 55:75 O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? reclining upon green cushions and lovely druggets -- O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny? Blessed be the Name of thy Lord, majestic, splendid.
