Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High
Who created all things and fashioned them in good proportion
Who determined and guided them
Who brought forth the pasture
and then made it into a blackish straw
We shall make you recite and then you will not forget
except what Allah should wish. He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden
We shall ease you to follow the way of Ease
So render good counsel if good counsel will avail
He who fears (Allah) shall heed it
but the wretched will turn away from it
He will be cast into the Great Fire
Then he will neither die in it, nor live
He who purified himself shall prosper
remembering his Lord´s name and praying
No; but you prefer the present life
whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring
This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls
the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses
