[1] Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
[2] Who created and proportioned
[3] And who destined and [then] guided
[4] And who brings out the pasture
[5] And [then] makes it black stubble.
[6] We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
[7] Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
[8] And We will ease you toward ease.
[9] So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
[10] He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
[11] But the wretched one will avoid it -
[12] [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
[13] Neither dying therein nor living.
[14] He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
[15] And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
[16] But you prefer the worldly life,
[17] While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
[18] Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
[19] The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
