Surah Ar-Rahmaan (The Beneficent)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ

THE MOST GRACIOUS

عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ

has imparted this Qur’an [unto man].

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ

He has created man:

عَلَّمَهُ ٱلْبَيَانَ

He has imparted unto him articulate thought and speech.

ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍۢ

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

وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ

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

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلْمِيزَانَ

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

أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْمِيزَانِ

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

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلْوَزْنَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا۟ ٱلْمِيزَانَ

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

وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ

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

فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌۭ وَٱلنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ ٱلْأَكْمَامِ

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

وَٱلْحَبُّ ذُو ٱلْعَصْفِ وَٱلرَّيْحَانُ

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