English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Extol The Name of your Lord, The Most Exalted

Who created; so He molded

And Who determined; so He guided

And Who brought out the pasturage

Then He made it a dark (Or: stubble including all pasturage) stubble

We will soon make you read so you will not forget

Excepting whatever Allah decides; surely He knows audible speech and what is concealed

And We will ease you to the Easiest (way)

So remind, in case the Reminding profits

He who is apprehensive will constantly remember

And the most wretched will avoid it

(He) who will roast in the Greatest Fire

Thereafter he will neither die therein, nor live

He has already prospered who has cleansed himself

And who remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays

No indeed, (but) you prefer the present life, (Literally: the lowly life, i.e., the life of this world)

And the Hereafter is more charitable (i.e., better) and more enduring

Surely this is in the earliest Scrolls

The Scrolls of Ibrahim and Musa (Abraham and Moses respectively)
