87 - The Most High |
| |
|
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
| |
| |
| 1 | Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, |
| |
| 2 | Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; |
| |
| 3 | Who hath measured, 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 (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 | He will heed who fears: |
| |
| 11 | But it will be avoided by the most unfortunate one, |
| |
| 12 | Who will enter the Great Fire, |
| |
| 13 | In which he will then neither die nor live. |
| |
| 14 | But he will prosper who purify himself, |
| |
| 15 | And remembers the name of his Guardian-Lord, and prays. |
| |
| 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. |
