Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
Al-Ala 1
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
Al-Ala 2
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
Al-Ala 3
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
Al-Ala 4
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
Al-Ala 5
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
Al-Ala 6
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
Al-Ala 7
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
Al-Ala 8
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
Al-Ala 9
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
Al-Ala 10
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
Al-Ala 11
Who will enter the Great Fire,
Al-Ala 12
In which they will then neither die nor live.
Al-Ala 13
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
Al-Ala 14
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
Al-Ala 15
Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
Al-Ala 16
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
Al-Ala 17
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
Al-Ala 18
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
Al-Ala 19
