Asad, Surah 55: The Beneficent (Ar-Rahmaan)

Surahs

[1] THE MOST GRACIOUS

[2] has imparted this Qur’an [unto man].

[3] He has created man:

[4] He has imparted unto him articulate thought and speech.

[5] [At His behest] the sun and the moon run their appointed courses;

[6] [before Him] prostrate them­selves the stars and the trees.

[7] And the skies has He raised high, and has devised [for all things] a measure,

[8] so that you [too, O men,] might never transgress the measure [of what is right]:

[9] weigh, therefore, [your deeds] with equity, and cut not the measure short!

[10] And the earth has He spread out for all living beings,

[11] with fruit thereon, and palm trees with sheathed clusters [of dates],

[12] and grain growing tall on its stalks, and sweet-smelling plants.

[13] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[14] He has created man out of sounding clay, like pottery,

[15] whereas the invisible beings He has created out of a confusing flame of fire.

[16] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[17] [He is] the Sustainer of the two farthest points of sunrise, and the Sustainer of the two farthest points of sunset.

[18] Which, then, of your Sustain­er’s powers can you disavow?

[19] He has given freedom to the two great bodies of water, so that they might meet:

[20] [yet] between them is a barrier which they may not transgress.

[21] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[22] Out of these two [bodies of water] come forth pearls, both great and small.

[23] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[24] And His are the lofty ships that sail like [floating] mountains through the seas.

[25] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[26] All that lives on earth or in the heavens is bound to pass away:

[27] but forever will abide thy Sustainer’s Self, full of majesty and glory.

[28] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[29] On Him depends all creatures in the heavens and on earth; [and] every day He manifests Himself in yet another [wondrous] way.

[30] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[31] [ONE DAY] We shall take you to task, O you sin-laden two!

[32] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[33] O you who live in close communion with [evil] invisible beings and humans! If you [think that you] can pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, pass beyond them! [But] you cannot pass beyond them, save by a sanction [from God]!

[34] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[35] A flash of fire will be let loose upon you, and smoke, and you will be left without succour!

[36] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[37] And when the sky is rent asunder and becomes red like [burning] oil

[38] which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[39] For on that Day neither man nor invisible being will be asked about his sins.

[40] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[41] All who were lost in sin shall by their marks be known, and shall by their forelocks and their feet be seized!

[42] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[43] This will be the hell which those who are lost in sin [now] call a lie:

[44] between it and [their own] burning-hot despair will they wander to and fro!

[45] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[46] BUT FOR THOSE who of their Sustainer’s Presence stand in fear, two gardens [of paradise are readied] -

[47] which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow? –

[48] [two gardens] of many wondrous hues.

[49] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[50] In [each of] these two [gardens] two springs will flow.

[51] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[52] In [each of] these two will two kinds of every fruit be [found].

[53] Which, then, of your Sustainer s powers can you disavow?

[54] [In such a paradise the blest will dwell,] reclin­ing upon carpets lined with rich brocade; and the fruit of both these gardens will be within easy reach.

[55] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[56] In these [gardens] will be mates of modest gaze, whom neither man nor invisible being will have touched ere then.

[57] Which, then, of your Sus­tainer’s powers can you disavow?

[58] [When you are promised splendours] as though [of] rubies and [of] pearls –

[59] which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[60] Could the reward of good be aught but good?

[61] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[62] And besides those two will be yet two [other] gardens -

[63] which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow? –

[64] two [gardens] of the deepest green.

[65] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[66] In [each of] these two [gardens] will two springs gush forth.

[67] Which, then, of your Sus­tainer’s powers can you disavow?

[68] In both of them will be [all kinds of] fruit, and date-palms and pomegranates.

[69] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[70] In these [gardens] will be [all] things most excellent and beautiful.

[71] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[72] [There the blest will live with their] companions pure and modest, in pavilions [splendid] -

[73] which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow? –

[74] [companions] whom neither man nor invisible being will have touched ere then.

[75] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[76] [In such a paradise will they dwell,] reclining upon meadows green and carpets rich in beauty.

[77] Which, then, of your Sustainer’s powers can you disavow?

[78] HALLOWED be thy Sustainer’s name, full of majesty and glory!
