AL A'LAA

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

87-1

Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,

87-2

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

87-3

Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

87-4

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

87-5

And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

87-6

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

87-7

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

87-8

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

87-9

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

87-10

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

87-11

But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

87-12

Who will enter the Great Fire,

87-13

In which they will then neither die nor live.

87-14

But those will prosper who purify themselves,

87-15

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

87-16

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

87-17

But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87-18

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

87-19

The Books of Abraham and Moses.
