Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High
Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it
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)
And Who brings out the pasturage
And then makes it dark stubble
We shall make you to recite (the Quran), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it)
Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden
And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds)
Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them)
The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah)
But it will be avoided by the wretched
Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning
Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living)
Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success
And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers)
Nay, you prefer the life of this world
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting
Verily! This is in the former Scriptures
The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Moosa (Moses) ( )
