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. |
