The Most High

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[87:1]

Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,

[87:2]

Who createth, then disposeth;

[87:3]

Who measureth, then guideth;

[87:4]

Who bringeth forth the pasturage,

[87:5]

Then turneth it to russet stubble.

[87:6]

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

[87:7]

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

[87:8]

And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.

[87:9]

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

[87:10]

He will heed who feareth,

[87:11]

But the most hapless will flout it,

[87:12]

He who will be flung to the great Fire

[87:13]

Wherein he will neither die nor live.

[87:14]

He is successful who groweth,

[87:15]

And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,

[87:16]

But ye prefer the life of the world

[87:17]

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

[87:18]

Lo! This is in the former scrolls.

[87:19]
