In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
[87.1]
Glorify the name of your Lord,
the Most High,
[87.2]
Who creates,
then makes complete,
[87.3]
And Who makes (things) according to a measure,
then guides (them to their goal),
[87.4]
And Who brings forth herbage,
[87.5]
Then makes it dried up,
dust-colored.
[87.6]
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
[87.7]
Except what Allah pleases,
surely He knows the manifest,
and what is hidden.
[87.8]
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
[87.9]
Therefore do remind,
surely reminding does profit.
[87.10]
He who fears will mind,
[87.11]
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
[87.12]
Who shall enter the great fire;
[87.13]
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
[87.14]
He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,
[87.15]
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
[87.16]
Nay!
you prefer the life of this world,
[87.17]
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
[87.18]
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
[87.19]
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
