Extol the holiness of the name of your Lord, the Most High. |
Who creates (all things) and gives (them) suitable and perfect shapes. |
Who determines (the capacities and faculties) and furnishes them with (appropriate) guidance to achieve the final goal. |
And Who brings forth the pasturage, |
And then turns it into dried up rubbish, gray coloured. |
We will soon teach (you and) make you recite (the Qur´ân) so that you shall not forget (any part of it). |
Except whatever (other things which) Allâh will (and which things you are apt to forget as a human being). Indeed He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden. |
And We shall provide you (every) facility and make things easy for you. |
Therefore keep on reminding (the people), surely reminding does good. |
He who stands in awe (of God) will heed, |
But the person steeped in wickedness goes on avoiding it. |
He who will enter the great Fire, |
Then he shall neither die therein nor live. |
Verily, that person who purifies himself truly will succeed (both in this life and in the Hereafter), |
And remembers and extols the name of his Lord and offers Prayers. |
But the fact is that you people prefer the present life, |
Though the (the life in) the Hereafter is much better and more lasting. |
These (teachings) are so stated in the earlier Scriptures |
The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. |
