In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |
|
1. |
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, |
2. |
Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it; |
3. |
And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture); |
4. |
And Who brings out the pasturage, |
5. |
And then makes it dark stubble. |
6. |
We shall make you to recite (the Qur'ân), so you (O Muhammad SAW) shall not forget (it), |
7. |
Except what Allâh, may will,
He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. |
8. |
And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad SAW) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds). |
9. |
Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them). |
10. |
The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allâh), |
11. |
But it will be avoided by the wretched, |
12. |
Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning, |
13. |
Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). |
14. |
Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islâmic Monotheism) shall achieve success, |
15. |
And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allâh), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawâfil additional prayers). |
16. |
Nay, you prefer the life of this world; |
17. |
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. |
18. |
Verily! This is in the former Scriptures, |
19. |
The Scriptures of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and Mûsa (Moses). ********* |
