"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

p. 1723

Sra Lxxxvii.

\"A'L," Or The Most High.

In the name of God, Most Gracious.

Most Merciful

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

p. 1724

(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,

p. 1725

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.
Nay (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 (Revelations),--

19. The Books of

Abraham and Moses.
