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.
