Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High
Who creates and fashions in due proportions
And Who determines (a particular life, nature, and goal for each creature), and guides (it toward the fulfillment of that goal)
And Who brings forth herbage
Then turns it to dark-colored, rotten stubble
(For the guidance of humankind,) We will establish the Qur’an in your heart and have you recite (it to others), so you will not forget (anything of it
Except what God wills. Surely He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden (including your outward and inward states)
We will guide you to the easiest path (in all your affairs)
So remind and instruct (them in the truth), in case reminder and instruction may be of use
He who stands in awe of God will be mindful of the instruction
But the most wicked one remains aloof from it
He who will enter the Great Fire (of Hell) to roast
He will neither die therein (to be saved from punishment) nor live
Prosperous indeed is he who purifies himself (of sins, and of his wealth by spending from it in God’s cause and for the needy)
And who mentions the Name of his Lord and does the Prayer
But you (O humankind) are disposed to prefer the life of this world
While the Hereafter is better and more lasting
This is surely contained in the former Scrolls
The Scrolls of Abraham and Moses
