Glorify the name of your Guardian Lord most High
Who created and makes order and proportion
Who ordains Laws and Guides
Who brings forth the pasture
Then turns it to dusky stubble
We will teach you by degrees to declare (or recite), and you shall not forget
Save what Allah wills. Verily, Lo! He knows the open and the hidden
And We will ease your way into the simple (path)
Therefore, remind men, for, verily, the reminder is useful
But he who fears will be mindful
And the wretch will avoid it
He will broil in the great Fire
Wherein he shall neither die nor live
He is successful who grows
And remembers the name of his Lord and prays
Nay! But you prefer the life of this world
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting
Verily, this was in the former books
The books of Abraham and Moses
