Our command1 is but a single word,2 done in the blink of an eye.
          
            54:50
          
        
        
          We have already destroyed the likes of you. So will any ˹of you˺ be mindful?
          
            54:51
          
        
        
          Everything they have done is ˹listed˺ in ˹their˺ records.
          
            54:52
          
        
        
          Every matter, small and large, is written ˹precisely˺.
          
            54:53
          
        
        
          Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and rivers,1
          
            54:54
          
        
        
          at the Seat of Honour in the presence of the Most Powerful Sovereign.
          
            54:55
          
        
        
          The Most Compassionate
          
            55:1
          
        
        
          taught the Quran,
          
            55:2
          
        
        
          created humanity,
          
            55:3
          
        
        
          ˹and˺ taught them speech.
          
            55:4
          
        
        
          The sun and the moon ˹travel˺ with precision.
          
            55:5
          
        
        
          The stars and the trees bow down ˹in submission˺.1
          
            55:6
          
        
        
          As for the sky, He raised it ˹high˺, and set the balance ˹of justice˺
          
            55:7
          
        
        
          so that you do not defraud the scales.
          
            55:8
          
        
        
          Weigh with justice, and do not give short measure.
          
            55:9
          
        
        
          He laid out the earth for all beings.
          
            55:10
          
        
        
          In it are fruit, palm trees with date stalks,
          
            55:11
          
        
        
          and grain with husks, and aromatic plants.
          
            55:12
          
        
        
          Then which of your Lord’s favours will you ˹humans and jinn˺ both deny?1 
          
            55:13
          
        
        
          He created humankind from ˹sounding˺ clay like pottery,
          
            55:14
          
        
        
          and created jinn from a ˹smokeless˺ flame of fire.
          
            55:15
          
        
        
          Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?
