English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High

Who measureth, then guideth

Who bringeth forth the pasturage

Then turneth it to russet stubble

We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden

And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease

Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder

He will heed who feareth

But the most hapless will flout it

He who will be flung to the great Fire

Wherein he will neither die nor live

He is successful who groweth

And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth

But ye prefer the life of the world

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting

Lo! This is in the former scrolls

The Books of Abraham and Moses
