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 . The Book of Abraham and Moses .
