English - Chapter 87 - Al-Ala

Glorify the Name of thy Lord, the Most High

Who created, then fashioned

Who measured out, then guided

and Who brought forth pasture

then made it as blackened stubble

We shall teach thee to recite, that thou wilt not forget

save what God wills. Truly He knows that which is open and that which is hidden

And We shall ease thy way unto ease

So remind, should the reminder benefit

he who fears will remember

while the most wretched shall avoid it

he who enters into the greatest Fire

then neither dies therein nor lives

He indeed prospers who is purified

Nay, but you prefer the life of this world

while the Hereafter is better and more enduring

Truly this is in the scriptures of old

the scriptures of Abraham and Moses
