Ar-Rahman

The All-Benevolent taught the Recitation.

الرحمن علم القرءان

He created the human being, He taught him clear expression.

خلق الانسن علمه البيان

The sun and the moon, by a precise reckoning.

الشمس والقمر بحسبان

The stemless plant and the tree bow down.

والنجم والشجر يسجدان

And the sky, He elevated it, and He set up the balance — so that you would not be immoderate in the balance: maintain the weighing with equity and do not cause loss to the balance.

والسماء رفعها ووضع الميزان الا تطغوا في الميزان واقيموا الوزن بالقسط ولا تخسروا الميزان

And the earth, He set it down for the creatures; therein are savoury fruits, the palm with its enclosed spathes, the grain with its husk, and the fragrant plant.

والارض وضعها للانام فيها فكهة والنخل ذات الاكمام والحب ذو العصف والريحان
