55. Rrahman · verses 8–12

أَلَّا تَطۡغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡمِيزَانِ

Alla tatghaw fee almeezani

In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance.

وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلۡوَزۡنَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَلَا تُخۡسِرُواْ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ

Waaqeemoo alwazna bialqisti wala tukhsiroo almeezana

So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلۡأَنَامِ

Waalarda wadaAAaha lilanami

It is He Who has spread out the earth for (His) creatures:

فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٞ وَٱلنَّخۡلُ ذَاتُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَامِ

Feeha fakihatun waalnnakhlu thatu alakmami

Therein is fruit and date-palms, producing spathes (enclosing dates);

وَٱلۡحَبُّ ذُو ٱلۡعَصۡفِ وَٱلرَّيۡحَانُ

Waalhabbu thoo alAAasfi waalrrayhani

Also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants.
