87: The Most High

87:1 Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,
87:2 Who createth, then disposeth;
87:3 Who measureth, then guideth;
87:4 Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
87:5 Then turneth it to russet stubble.
87:6 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget
87:7 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;
87:8 And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.
87:9 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.
87:10 He will heed who feareth,
87:11 But the most hapless will flout it,
87:12 He who will be flung to the great Fire
Those who are flung into the great Fire will neither live nor die.
The Fire
87:13 Wherein he will neither die nor live.
87:14 He is successful who groweth,
87:15 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,
87:16 But ye prefer the life of the world
87:17 Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
87:18 Lo! This is in the former scrolls.
87:19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.
