Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High, ^[1]

Who created and proportioned ^[2]

And who destined and [then] guided ^[3]

And who brings out the pasture ^[4]

And [then] makes it black stubble. ^[5]

We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget, ^[6]

Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden. ^[7]

And We will ease you toward ease. ^[8]

So remind, if the reminder should benefit; ^[9]

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded. ^[10]

But the wretched one will avoid it - ^[11]

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire, ^[12]

Neither dying therein nor living. ^[13]

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself ^[14]

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. ^[15]

But you prefer the worldly life, ^[16]

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. ^[17]

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, ^[18]

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses. ^[19]
