English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

(Muhammad), glorify the Name of your lord, the Most High

Who has created (all things) proportionately

decreed their destinies, and provided them with guidance

It is He who has caused the grass to grow

then caused it to wither away

We shall teach you (the Quran) and you will not forget it

unless God wills it to be otherwise. He knows all that is made public and all that remains hidden

We shall make all your tasks easy

Therefore, keep on preaching as long as it is of benefit

Those who have fear of God will benefit

but the reprobates will turn away

and suffer the heat of the great fire

wherein they will neither live nor die

Lasting happiness will be for those who purify themselves

remember the name of the Lord, and pray to Him

However, (the disbelievers) prefer the worldly life

even though the life hereafter will be better and will last forever

This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books

the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses
