In the name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
2. Who hath created,
and further, given order and proportion;
3. Who hath ordained
laws. And granted guidance;
4. And Who bringeth
out the (green and luscious) pasture,
5. And then doth make
it (but) swarthy stubble.
6. By degrees shall
We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
7. Except as Allah
wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
8. And We will make
it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
9. Therefore give admonition
in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
10. The admonition
will be received by those who fear ((Allah)):
11. But it will be
avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
12. Who will enter
the Great Fire,
13. In which they will
then neither die nor live.
14. But those will
prosper who purify themselves,
15. And glorify the
name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
16. Day (behold), ye
prefer the life of this world;
17. But the Hereafter
is better and more enduring.
18. And this is in
the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
19. The Books of Abraham
and Moses.
