Sura
The Merciful
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The
God of Mercy hath taught the Koran,
Hath
created man,
Hath
taught him the Bayan. (articulate speech)
The
Sun and the Moon have each their times,
And
the plants and the trees bend in adoration.
And
the Heaven, He hath reared it on high, and hath appointed the balance;
That
in the balance you should not transgress.
Weigh
therefore with fairness, and scant not the balance.
And
the Earth, He hath prepared it for the living tribes:
55:10 Therein on fruits, and the palms with
sheathed clusters,
And
the grain with its husk, and the fragrant plants.
Which
then of the bounties of your Lord will you twain deny?
He
created man of clay like that of the potter.
And He
created the djinn of pure fire:
Which
then of the bounties, etc.
He is
the Lord of the East,
He is
the Lord of the West:
Which,
etc.
He
hath let loose the two seas which meet each other:
55:20 Yet between them is a barrier which
they overpass not;
Which,
etc.
From
each he bringeth up pearls both great and small:
Which,
etc.
And
His are the ships towering up at sea like mountains:
Which,
etc.
All on
the earth shall pass away,
But
the face of thy Lord shall abide resplendent with majesty and glory:
Which,
etc.
To Him
maketh suit all that is in the Heaven and the Earth. Every day doth some new
work employ Him:
55:30 Which, etc.
We
will find leisure to judge you, O you men and djinn:
Which,
etc.
O
company of djinn and men, if you can overpass the bounds of the Heavens and the
Earth, then overpass them. But by our leave only shall you overpass them:
Which,
etc.
A
bright flash of fire shall be hurled at you both, and molten brass, and you shall
not defend yourselves from it:
Which,
etc.
When
the Heaven shall be cleft asunder, and become rose red, like stained leather:
Which,
etc.
On
that day shall neither man nor djinn be asked of his sin:
55:40 Which, etc.
By
their tokens shall the sinners be known, and they shall be seized by their
forelocks and their feet:
Which,
etc.
"This
is Hell which sinners treated as a lie."
To and
fro shall they pass between it and the boiling water:
Which,
etc.
But
for those who dread the majesty of their Lord shall be two gardens:
Which,
etc.
These
Gardens are of Afnans: (branches)
Which,
etc.
55:50 In each two fountains flowing:
Which,
etc.
In
each two kinds of every fruit:
Which,
etc.
On
couches with linings of brocade shall they recline, and the fruit of the two
gardens shall be within easy reach:
Which,
etc.
Therein
shall be the damsels with retiring glances, whom nor man nor djinn hath touched
before them:
Which,
etc.
Like
jacynths and pearls:
Which,
etc.
55:60 Shall the reward of good be aught but
good?
Which,
etc.
And
beside these shall be two other gardens:
Which,
etc.
Of a
dark green:
Which,
etc.
With
gushing fountains in each:
Which,
etc.
In
each fruits and the palm and the pomegranate:
Which,
etc.
55:70 In each, the fair, the beauteous ones:
Which,
etc.
With
large dark eyeballs, kept close in their pavilions:
Which,
etc.
Whom
man hath never touched,nor any djinn:
Which,
etc.
Their
spouses on soft green cushions and on beautiful carpets shall recline:
Which,
etc.
Blessed
be the name of thy Lord, full of majesty and glory.
