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 . Day (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.
