English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Praise the name of thy Lord, the most high

Who hath created, and completely formed his creatures

And Who determineth them to various ends, and directeth them to attain the same

and who produceth the pasture for cattle

and afterwards rendereth the same dry stubble of a dusky hue

We will enable thee to rehearse our revelations; and thou shalt not forget any part thereof

except what God shall please; for He knoweth that which is manifest, and that which is hidden

And We will facilitate unto thee the most easy way

Wherefore admonish thy people, if thy admonition shall be profitable unto them

Whoso feareth God, he will be admonished

who shall be cast to be broiled in the greater fire of hell

wherein he shall not die, neither shall he live

Now hath he attained felicity who is purified by faith

and who remembereth the name of his Lord, and prayeth

But ye prefer this present life

Yet the life to come is better, and more durable

Verily this is written in the ancient books

the books of Abraham and Moses
