| 1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Hayy; |
| 2 | The Life, the Living, all Creatures; |
| 3 | And the fourteenth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty. |
| 4 | Upon the existence of all animals and creatures which roam independently; |
| 5 | To those forms which remain stationary such as plants and trees; |
| 6 | To other forms of simpler life; |
| 7 | All life is the manifestation of Allah. |
| 8 | O you who believe! When one respects their own life, they respect Allah; |
| 9 | When one disrespects life, they cannot possibly love the Creator of Life. |
| 10 | Do not be fooled by those madmen, that spit upon the faces of travelers; |
| 11 | Those filthy and unwashed wretches who cry out against life as a curse; |
| 12 | Who chastise those they clean themselves and take care in grooming their hair with modesty. |
| 13 | Some believe these preachers to be prophets on account of their constant speech and forewarning of great plagues against the people; |
| 14 | Yet, verily they are fools, who prey upon the ignorant and fearful. |
| 15 | Life be no curse, but a blessed gift from Allah. |
| 16 | Thus no one may take the life of another unjustly without dishonoring Allah. |
