Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
|
2. |
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
|
3. |
Who hath measured, and granted guidance;
|
4. |
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
|
5. |
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
|
6. |
By degrees shall We teach thee (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
|
7. |
Except as Allah wills: for He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
|
8. |
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
|
9. |
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
|
10. |
He will heed who fears:
|
11. |
But it will be avoided by the most unfortunate one,
|
12. |
Who will enter the Great Fire,
|
13. |
In which he will then neither die nor live.
|
14. |
But he will prosper who purify himself,
|
15. |
And remembers the name of his Guardian-Lord, and prays.
|
16. |
Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
|
17. |
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
|
18. |
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
|
19. |
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
