51 And certainly We destroyed your fellows, but is there anyone who will mind?

52 And everything they do is in the writings.

53 And everything small and great is written down.

54 Surely the dutiful will be among Gardens and rivers.

55 In the seat of truth, with a most Powerful King.

Chapter 55 Al-Raḥmān: The Beneficent

1 The Beneficent

2 Taught the Qur’ān.

3 He created man,

4 Taught him expression.

5 The sun and the moon follow a reckoning,

6 And the herbs and the trees adore (Him).

7 And the heaven, He raised it high, and He set up the measure,

8 That you may not exceed the measure,

9 And keep up the balance with equity, nor fall short in the measure.

10 And the earth, He has set it for (His) creatures;

11 Therein is fruit and palms having sheathed clusters,

12 And the grain with (its) husk and fragrance.

13 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?

14 He created man from dry clay like earthen vessels,

15 And He created the jinn of a flame of fire.

16 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?

17 Lord of the two Easts, and Lord of the two Wests.

18 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?

19 He has made the two seas to flow freely — they meet:

20 Between them is a barrier which they cannot pass.
