| 1 | Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,
| |
| 2 | Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it;
| |
| 3 | And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture);
| |
| 4 | And Who brings out the pasturage,
| |
| 5 | And then makes it dark stubble.
| |
| 6 | We shall make you to recite (the Quran), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it),
| |
| 7 | Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.
| |
| 8 | And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds).
| |
| 9 | Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them).
| |
| 10 | The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah),
| |
| 11 | But it will be avoided by the wretched,
| |
| 12 | Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning,
| |
| 13 | Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).
| |
| 14 | Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,
| |
| 15 | And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers).
| |
| 16 | Nay, you prefer the life of this world;
| |
| 17 | Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
| |
| 18 | Verily! This is in the former Scriptures,
| |
| 19 | The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Moosa (Moses) ( ).
