Asad, Surah 87: The Most High (Al-A'laa)

Surahs

[1] EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest,

[2] who creates [every thing], and thereupon forms it in accordance with what it is meant to be,

[3] and who determines the nature [of all that exists], and thereupon guides it [towards its fulfilment],

[4] and who brings forth herbage,

[5] and thereupon causes it to decay into rust-brown stubble!

[6] WE SHALL teach thee, and thou wilt not forget [aught of what thou art taught],

[7] save what God may will [thee to forget] - for, verily, He [alone] knows all that is open to [man's] perception as well as all that is hidden [from it]

[8] and [thus] shall We make easy for thee the path towards [ultimate] ease.

[9] REMIND, THEN, [others of the truth, regardless of] whether this reminding [would seem to] be of use [or not]:

[10] in mind will keep it he who stands in awe [of God],

[11] but aloof from it will remain that most hapless wretch –

[12] he who [in the life to come] shall have to endure the great fire

[13] wherein he will neither die nor remain alive.

[14] To happiness [in the life to come] will indeed attain he who attains to purity [in this world],

[15] and remembers his Sustainer's name, and prays [unto Him].

[16] But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world,

[17] although the life to come is better and more enduring.

[18] Verily, [all] this has indeed been [said] in the earlier revelations –

[19] the revelations of Abraham and Moses.
