Translation of surah Ar Rahman
The Most Affectionate
Taught the Quran to His beloved.
He created Mohammad, the soul of humanity.
He taught him speech regarding whatever had already happened and whatever will happen.
The sun and the moon are according to a reckoning.
And the green plants and trees prostrate.
And the sky, Allah has elevated it and set the balance.
That you may not transgress in the balance.
And keep up the weight with justice, and shorten not the weight.
And the earth, He has laid for the creatures.
There in are fruits and palm trees with sheaths.
And grain with husk and fray. rant flowers.
