ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ ١

The Most Merciful

عَلَّمَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ ٢

Taught the Qur’ān,

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ٣

Created man,

عَلَّمَهُ ٱلۡبَيَانَ ٤

[And] taught him eloquence.

ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ بِحُسۡبَانٖ ٥

The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,

وَٱلنَّجۡمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسۡجُدَانِ ٦

And the stars and trees prostrate.1

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ ٧

And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

أَلَّا تَطۡغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡمِيزَانِ ٨

That you not transgress within the balance.

وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلۡوَزۡنَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَلَا تُخۡسِرُواْ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ ٩

And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلۡأَنَامِ ١٠

And the earth He laid [out] for the creatures.

فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٞ وَٱلنَّخۡلُ ذَاتُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَامِ ١١

Therein is fruit and palm trees having sheaths [of dates]

وَٱلۡحَبُّ ذُو ٱلۡعَصۡفِ وَٱلرَّيۡحَانُ ١٢

And grain having husks and scented plants.
