Surah “The Most High, Glory to your Lord in the Highest”

as rendered by Edward Henry Palmer — 19 verses

Celebrated the name of thy Lord most High
who created and fashioned
and who decreed and guided
and who brings forth the pasture
and then makes it dusky stubble
We will make thee recite, and thou shalt not forget
save what God pleases. Verily, He knows the open and what is concealed
and we will send thee easily to ease
wherefore remind, for, verily, the reminder is useful
But he who fears will be mindful
but the wretch will avoid it
he who will broil on the great fire
and then therein shall neither die nor live
Prosperous is he who purifies himself
and remembers the name of his Lord and prays
Nay! but ye prefer the life of this world
while the hereafter is better and more lasting
Verily, this was in the books of yore,
the books of Abraham and Moses
