87 The Most High

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,

Those who are flung into the great Fire will neither live nor die.
The 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.
