Ar-Rahman

The Most Merciful taught the Quran. He created man and taught him clear speech. The sun and the moon run by exact calculation, and the stars and the trees bow down. He raised the sky and set the balance, so do not cheat in the scales. He laid out the earth for all creatures, with its fruit, palm trees, grain and fragrant plants. So which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny? He created man from clay like pottery and the jinn from smokeless fire. He let the two seas meet, with a barrier they do not cross, and from them come pearls and coral. His are the ships that rise like mountains on the sea. Everyone on earth will perish, and only the Face of your Lord remains, full of Majesty and Honour. O jinn and humans, pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth if you can, but you cannot, without authority. When the sky splits and turns red like oil, the guilty will be known by their marks and will go around between Hell and boiling water. But for whoever feared standing before their Lord, there are two Gardens, with flowing springs and fruit of every kind in pairs, and couches lined with rich brocade, and companions as lovely as rubies and coral. Is the reward for good anything but good? And besides these are two more Gardens, deep green, with gushing springs, palms and pomegranates. Blessed is the name of your Lord, full of Majesty and Honour.
