AR-RAHMA
Bestowed the Qur'an
Created man
And taught him to express clearly

And the grasses and the trees bow (to Him) in adoration
He raised the sky and set the Balance
So that none may err against the scales
And observe correct measure, weigh with justice, and not cheat the balance

There are fruits of all kinds on it, and date-palms with their clusters sheathed
Grain with husk, and fragrant grasses

And created jinns from the white-hot flame of fire
