Qur’an — Page 531 of 604

وَمَآ أَمۡرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٞ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ ٥٠

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ٥١

And We have already destroyed your kinds,¹ so is there any who will remember?

وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٖ فَعَلُوهُ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ ٥٢

And everything they did is in written records.

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٖ وَكَبِيرٖ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ ٥٣

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَنَهَرٖ ٥٤

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,

فِي مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٖ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ ٥٥

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.¹

ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ١

The Most Merciful

عَلَّمَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ ٢

Taught the Qur’ān,

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ٣

Created man,

عَلَّمَهُ ٱلۡبَيَانَ ٤

[And] taught him eloquence.

ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ بِحُسۡبَانٖ ٥

The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,

وَٱلنَّجۡمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسۡجُدَانِ ٦

And the stars and trees prostrate.¹

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ ٧

And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

أَلَّا تَطۡغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡمِيزَانِ ٨

That you not transgress within the balance.

وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلۡوَزۡنَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَلَا تُخۡسِرُواْ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ ٩

And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلۡأَنَامِ ١٠

And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.

فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٞ وَٱلنَّخۡلُ ذَاتُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَامِ ١١

Therein is fruit and palm trees having sheaths [of dates]

وَٱلۡحَبُّ ذُو ٱلۡعَصۡفِ وَٱلرَّيۡحَانُ ١٢

And grain having husks and scented plants.

فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ١٣

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?¹

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ كَٱلۡفَخَّارِ ١٤

He created man from clay like [that of] pottery.

وَخَلَقَ ٱلۡجَآنَّ مِن مَّارِجٖ مِّن نَّارٖ ١٥

And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.

فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ١٦

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?
