| In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
 |
| 1. |
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, |
 |
| 2. |
Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it; |
 |
| 3. |
And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture); |
 |
| 4. |
And Who brings out the pasturage, |
 |
| 5. |
And then makes it dark stubble. |
 |
| 6. |
We shall make you to recite (the Qur'aan), so you (O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) shall not forget (it), |
 |
| 7. |
Except what Allaah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. |
 |
| 8. |
And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds). |
 |
| 9. |
Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them). |
 |
| 10. |
The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allaah), |
 |
| 11. |
But it will be avoided by the wretched, |
 |
| 12. |
Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning, |
 |
| 13. |
Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). |
 |
| 14. |
Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islaamic Monotheism) shall achieve success, |
 |
| 15. |
And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allaah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawaafil additional prayers). |
 |
| 16. |
Nay, you prefer the life of this world; |
 |
| 17. |
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. |
 |
| 18. |
Verily! This is in the former Scriptures, |
 |
| 19. |
The Scriptures of Ibraaheem (Abraham) and Moosaa (Moses) (alayhimus-salaam). |
