-
Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
-
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
-
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
-
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
-
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
-
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
-
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
-
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
-
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
-
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
-
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
-
Who will enter the Great Fire,
-
In which they will then neither die nor live.
-
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
-
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
-
Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
-
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
-
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
-
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
