Yusuf Ali

1 Glorify the name of thy Guardian - Lord Most High,

Yusuf Ali

2 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

Yusuf Ali

3 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

Yusuf Ali

4 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

Yusuf Ali

5 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

Yusuf Ali

6 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

Yusuf Ali

7 Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

Yusuf Ali

8 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

Yusuf Ali

9 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

Yusuf Ali

10 The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):

Yusuf Ali

11 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

Yusuf Ali

12 Who will enter the Great Fire,

Yusuf Ali

13 In which they will then neither die nor live.

Yusuf Ali

14 But those will prosper who purify themselves,

Yusuf Ali

15 And glorify the name of their Guardian - Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

Yusuf Ali

16 Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

Yusuf Ali

17 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

Yusuf Ali

18 And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation), -

Yusuf Ali

19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.
