English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Magnify the Name of thy Lord the Most High

who created and shaped

who determined and guided

who brought forth the pasturage

then made it a blackening wrack

We shall make thee recite, to forget not

save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden

We shall ease thee unto the Easing

Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits

and he who fears shall remember

but the most wretched shall flout it

even he who shall roast in the Great Fire

then he shall neither die therein, nor live

Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself

and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays

Nay, but you prefer the present life

and the world to come is better, and more enduring

Surely this is in the ancient scrolls

the scrolls of Abraham and Moses
