(O Prophet,) glorify the name of your Lord, the Highest.1 Who created and proportioned.2 Who set a destiny3 and showed the way.4 Who caused vegetation to grow,5 then reduced it to black rubbish.6 We shall enable you to recite; then you shall not forget7 except what Allah wills.8 He knows what is open and also what is hidden.9 And We give you the facility of the easy way; therefore, admonish them if admonition be profitable.10 He who fears will accept the admonition,11 and it will be shunned by the most wretched one, who shall enter the Great Fire, wherein he shall neither die nor live.12 Truly successful was he who purified himself,13 and remembered the name of his Lord,14 then prayed.15 But you (O men,) prefer the life of this world,16 although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.17 The same had been said in the former Books, the Books of Abraham and Moses.18
