| 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. |
