87. Surah Al-A'la

Glorify thou the name of thy Lord, the Most High,

Who created and fashioned,

And who determined and guided,

And who brought forth the pasture

Then made it blackening decaying herbage

(We will make thee recite, and thou wilt not forget.)

Save that God should will; He knows the apparent and the hidden.

And We will ease thee towards ease.

So remind thou; if the reminder should benefit

He will take heed who fears.

But the most wretched will avoid it,

Who will burn in the Great Fire,

Then will he neither die therein nor live.

He is successful who has purified himself,

And remembers the name of his Lord and performs the duty.

The truth is, you prefer the life of this world

When the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

This is in the former scriptures,

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
