English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High

Who created all things and fashioned them in good proportion

Who determined and guided them

Who brought forth the pasture

and then made it into a blackish straw

We shall make you recite and then you will not forget

except what Allah should wish. He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden

We shall ease you to follow the way of Ease

So render good counsel if good counsel will avail

He who fears (Allah) shall heed it

but the wretched will turn away from it

He will be cast into the Great Fire

Then he will neither die in it, nor live

He who purified himself shall prosper

remembering his Lord´s name and praying

No; but you prefer the present life

whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring

This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls

the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses
