87: The Most High, Glory to Your Lord in the Highest
| |
1 |
Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
| |
2 |
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
| |
3 |
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
| |
4 |
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
| |
5 |
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
| |
6 |
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt
not forget,
| |
7 |
Except as God wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is
hidden.
| |
8 |
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
| |
9 |
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
| |
10 |
The admonition will be received by those who fear (God):
| |
11 |
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
| |
12 |
Who will enter the Great Fire,
| |
13 |
In which they will then neither die nor live.
| |
14 |
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
| |
15 |
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts)
in prayer.
| |
16 |
Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
| |
17 |
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
| |
18 |
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
| |
19 |
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
