1[Prophet], glorify the name of your Lord the Most High

2who created [all things] in due proportion

3who determined their destinies and guided them

4who brought out the green pasture

5then made it dark debris

6[Prophet], We shall teach you [the Quran] and you will not forget––

7unless God wishes; He knows both what is open and what is hidden––

8We shall show you the easy way

9So remind, if reminding will help

10Those who stand in awe of God will heed the reminder

11but it will be ignored by the most wicked

12who will enter the Great Fire

13where they will neither die nor live

14Prosperous are those who purify themselves

15remember the name of their Lord, and pray

16Yet you [people] prefer the life of this world

17even though the Hereafter is better and more lasting

18All this is in the earlier scriptures

19the scriptures of Abraham and Moses
