Ar-Rahman
The All-Compassionate The Most Gracious has imparted
this Qur'an unto man. He has created man: He has imparted
unto him articulate thought and speech. At His behest the
sun and the moon run their appointed courses; before Him
prostrate themselves the stars and the trees.
And the skies has He raised high, and has devised for all
things a measure, so that you too, O men, might never transgress
the measure of what is right: weight, therefore, your deeds
with equity, and cut not the measure short! and the earth
has He spread out for all living beings, with fruit thereon,
and palm trees with sheathed clusters of dates, and grain
growing tall on its stalks, and sweet-smelling plants.
Which, then, of your Sustainer's powers
can you disavow?
Ar-Rahman 55:1-13, tr. Asad |
