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

as rendered by George Sale — 19 verses

Praise the name of thy Lord, the most high
Who hath created, and completely formed his creatures
And Who determineth them to various ends, and directeth them to attain the same
and who produceth the pasture for cattle
and afterwards rendereth the same dry stubble of a dusky hue
We will enable thee to rehearse our revelations; and thou shalt not forget any part thereof
except what God shall please; for He knoweth that which is manifest, and that which is hidden
And We will facilitate unto thee the most easy way
Wherefore admonish thy people, if thy admonition shall be profitable unto them
Whoso feareth God, he will be admonished
But the most wretched unbeliever will turn away therefrom
who shall be cast to be broiled in the greater fire of hell
wherein he shall not die, neither shall he live
Now hath he attained felicity who is purified by faith
and who remembereth the name of his Lord, and prayeth
But ye prefer this present life
Yet the life to come is better, and more durable
Verily this is written in the ancient books
the books of Abraham and Moses
