English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High

Who created and gave the things created good shape

And Who determined [the span of existence for the things created] and guided them

And Who brought out the verdure [on the earth]

And then made it into dark rubble

We shall make you recite and then you will not forget

Except for what Allah wills. HE knows what is manifest and what is hidden

And We shall make things easy for you

Should the divine Words of the Qur'aan benefit them, do recite these to them

And he who is wicked will shun it

He who will burn in the Great Fire

Then he will neither die in it, nor live

He will surely attain salvation who keeps himself pure [in worldly life]

And oft-remembers his Lordճ name and then prays to Him

But no, you prefer this worldly life

Whereas the Hereafter is better and enduring

This fact, indeed, was [also stated] in the earlier Scriptures —

The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses
