| 1 | Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High | ||
| 2 | Who hath created and further given order and proportion; | ||
| 3 | Who hath ordained laws. 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 to declare ( 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 | The admonition will be received by those who fear ( Allah ): | ||
| 11 | But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones. | ||
| 12 | Who will enter the Great Fire. | ||
| 13 | In which they will then neither die nor live. | ||
| 14 | But those will prosper who purify themselves. | ||
| 15 | And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord and ( lift their hearts ) in Prayer. | ||
| 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 ( Revelations ) | ||
| 19 | The Books of Abraham and Moses. | ||
