| 1 | Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, |
| 2 | Who createth, then disposeth; |
| 3 | Who measureth, then guideth; |
| 4 | Who bringeth forth the pasturage, |
| 5 | Then turneth it to russet stubble. |
| 6 | We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget |
| 7 | Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden; |
| 8 | And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease. |
| 9 | Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder. |
| 10 | He will heed who feareth, |
| 11 | But the most hapless will flout it, |
| 12 | He who will be flung to the great Fire |
| 13 | Wherein he will neither die nor live. |
| 14 | He is successful who groweth, |
| 15 | And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth, |
| 16 | But ye prefer the life of the world |
| 17 | Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. |
| 18 | Lo! This is in the former scrolls. |
| 19 | The Books of Abraham and Moses. |
