55:1  The Most Kind

55:2  taught the beloved Messenger the Majestic Quran.

55:3  He created human beings

55:4  and taught them the art of communication.

55:5  The sun and the moon orbit in set paths,

55:6  plants and trees bow before Him.

55:7  He raised the sky and finely balanced everything,

55:8  so don’t disturb the fine balance.

55:9  Give due weight and measure, don’t short change one another

55:10  He created the Earth for living creatures,

55:11  fruits and date trees with sheathed bunches,

55:12  husked grains and fragrant flowers.

55:13  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:14  He created human beings from oven-baked clay,

55:15  and created jinn from smokeless flame.

55:16  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:17  He is the Lord of two risings and settings.

55:18  So which favours of your Lord will you deny

55:19  He combined the seawater and the freshwater,

55:20  there’s an invisible barrier between them which stops them mixing.

55:21  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:22  Pearls large and small come from there.

55:23  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:24  The ships sail on the seas looming high like mountains.

55:25  So which favours of your Lord will you deny

55:26  All things on Earth will perish;

55:27  all that will remain is your Lord, the Majestic and the Giver of honour.

55:28  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:29  All those in the Heavens and the Earth depend on Him; every day He appears in wondrous ways

55:30  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:31  We’ll give you attention, humans and jinn

55:32  So which favours of your Lord will you deny

55:33  Humans and jinn! If you have the capability of passing beyond the regions of Heaven and the Earth then do so; but, you won’t be able to pass without authority.

55:34  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:35  Flames of fire will lash at you, cover you with smoke, and leave you defenceless.

55:36  So which favours of your Lord will you deny

55:37  When the sky splits up it will be bright red, like red leather.

55:38  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:39  That Day neither human nor jinn will be asked about their sins.

55:40  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:41  The sinners will be recognised by the marks on their faces, and they shall be grabbed by their forelocks and feet.

55:42  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:43  This is Hell that the sinners denied.

55:44  Here they will wander aimlessly between Hell and cauldrons of boiling water.

55:45  So which favours of your Lord will you deny

55:46  The person who feared standing before his Lord will have two gardens.

55:47  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:48  Both with thick foliage.

55:49  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:50  Both with two flowing fountains.

55:51  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:52  Both with fruits of two kinds.

55:53  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:54  Sitting relaxed on sofas lined with brocade, with their low-hanging fruit gardens.

55:55  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:56  In them will be ladies with lowered gazes who no man or jinn would have touched.

55:57  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:58  Like glamorous rubies and pearls.

55:59  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:60  What’s the reward for kindness except kindness?

55:61  So which favours of your Lord will you deny

55:62  Beside these there are two other gardens.

55:63  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:64  Both with deep green foliage.

55:65  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:66  Both have two gushing fountains.

55:67  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:68  Both gardens will have plenty of fruit dates and pomegranates.

55:69  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:70  In them will be ladies with charming character and beauty.

55:71  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:72  With beautiful eyes living in tall tents.

55:73  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:74  Never touched before by a human or a jinn.

55:75  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:76  Sitting relaxed on soft cushions and fine carpets.

55:77  So which favours of your Lord will you deny?

55:78  Blessed is the name of your Lord, Most Majestic and Giver of Honours
