| 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 | Nay (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.
