The All-beneficen
has taught the Qur’an
He created man
[and] taught him articulate speech
The sun and the moon are [disposed] calculatedly
and the herb and the tree prostrate [to Allah]
He raised the sky and set up the balance
declaring, ‘Do not infringe the balance
Maintain the weights with justice, and do not shorten the balance!’
And the earth, He laid it out for mankind
In it are fruits and date-palms with sheaths
grain with husk, and fragrant herbs
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
He created man out of dry clay, like the potter’s
and created the jinn out of a flame of a fire
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
Lord of the two easts, and Lord of the two wests
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
He merged the two seas, meeting each other
There is a barrier between them which they do not overstep
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
From them emerge the pearl and the coral
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
His are the sailing ships on the sea [appearing] like landmarks
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
Everyone on it is ephemeral
yet lasting is the Face of your Lord, majestic and munificent
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
Everyone in the heavens and the earth asks Him. Every day He is engaged in some work
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
We shall soon make Ourselves unoccupied for you, O you notable two
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
O company of jinn and humans! If you can pass through the confines of the heavens and the earth, then do pass through. But you will not pass through except by an authority [from Allah]
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
There will be unleashed upon you a flash of fire and a smoke; then you will not be able to help one another
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
When the sky is split open, and turns crimson like tanned leather
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
On that day neither humans will be questioned about their sins nor jinn
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
The guilty will be recognized by their mark; so they will be seized by the forelocks and the feet
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
‘This is the hell which the guilty would deny!’

In both of them will be fruits, date-palms and pomegranates
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
In them are maidens good and lovely

Houris secluded in pavilions
So which of your Lord’s bounties will you both deny
Whom no human has touched before, nor jinn
