The Merciful
who taught the Quran
He created ma
and He taught him speech
The sun and the moon move according to a fixed reckoning
the stars and the trees bend in prostration
He raised the heavens and set up the measure
so that you should not transgress the measure
Always measure with justice and do not give short measure
He has laid out the earth for His creatures
On it are fruits and palm-trees with sheathed clusters [of dates]
and grains with their husk and fragrant plants
Which of your Lords wonders would you deny
He has created man, from dry ringing clay, like the potters
and He created the jinns from a flame of fire
Which of your Lords wonders would you deny

Which of your Lords wonders would you deny

Between them is a barrier, which they do not overrun
Which of your Lords wonders would you deny

Which, of your Lords wonders would you deny

Which of your Lords wonders would you deny
Flames of fire and molten brass shall be sent against both of you, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.[42]

which of your Lords wonders would you deny

Which of your Lords wonders would you deny

Which of your Lords wonders would you deny
Whom neither a man or jinn had ever touched before them
Which of your Lords wonders would you deny
[They will live in such a paradise] reclining upon green cushions and the finest carpets
Which of your Lords wonders would you deny
Blessed be your Lords name, full of glory and majesty
