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