Glorify name of your Lord, The Most-high,
he who created [it] and then made [it] free and extensive,
and He who measured [it] and then guided [it],
and He who brought forth the pastures,
and then He turns it into stubble decomposed and dark.
We shall make you recite so that you will not forget,
except that which Allah pleases. Truly He knows that which is apparent and that which is hidden.
And We will make it easy for you to follow the easy path.
Therefore remind, for the remembrance does benefit.
The one who has deference [to Allah] will take remembrance.
But the one who is ill-fated will shun it.
He who will burn in the great fire.
Then he will neither die therein nor will he live.
Indeed he has prospered who has sought to sanctify his own soul.
And remembered the name of his Lord and then established prayer.
Nay! You prefer the life of this world.
But the hereafter is better and more lasting.
Indeed this most certainly was in the earlier scrolls,
the scrolls of Abraham and Moses.
