He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of all things.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

The Quran Interpreted, translated by A.J. Arberry, is one of the most respected English translations of Islam's sacred scripture, praised for its literary quality and fidelity to the rhythmic beauty of the original Arabic. The Quran is considered by Muslims to be the direct Word of God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and contains guidance for every dimension of human life — spiritual, ethical, legal, and cosmic. Arberry's translation is a landmark of Islamic scholarship and essential reading for anyone who wishes to encounter the Quran in English.
