87. Al-A'lâ
| 1. | Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, |
| 2. | Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it; |
| 3. | And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture); |
| 4. | And Who brings out the pasturage, |
| 5. | And then makes it dark stubble. |
| 6. | We shall make you to recite (the Qur'ân), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it), |
| 7. | Except what Allâh, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. |
| 8. | And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds). |
| 9. | Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them). |
| 10. | The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allâh), |
| 11. | But it will be avoided by the wretched, |
| 12. | Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning, |
| 13. | Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). |
| 14. | Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islâmic Monotheism) shall achieve success, |
| 15. | And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allâh), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawâfil additional prayers). |
| 16. | Nay, you prefer the life of this world; |
| 17. | Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. |
| 18. | Verily! This is in the former Scriptures, |
| 19. | The Scriptures of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and Mûsa (Moses)
