87. Al-A'laa

1 Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High

2 Who createth, then disposeth

3 Who measureth, then guideth

4 Who bringeth forth the pasturage

5 Then turneth it to russet stubble

6 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

7 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden

8 And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease

9 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder

10 He will heed who feareth

11 But the most hapless will flout it

12 He who will be flung to the great Fire

13 Wherein he will neither die nor live

14 He is successful who groweth

15 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth

16 But ye prefer the life of the world

17 Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting

18 Lo! This is in the former scrolls

19 The Books of Abraham and Moses
