--- |
|---|
| 87:1 | | Glorify the Name of Allah, your Creator, the Supreme |
| 87:2 | | Who created all beings and made them well proportioned, and kept the creation in equilibrium, |
| 87:3 | | Who guided every being to its befitting course and endowed all beings with the impulses determining their direction to a definite end, and He has indicated to man the path of misery and that of happiness and left him to choose his way |
| 87:4 | | Who also brings forth the vegetation, |
| 87:5 | | Then He makes it decay and causes its degeneration |
| 87:6 | | We shall make you recite so that you will not forget |
| 87:7 | | Except as Allah will repeal at a later date; He knows what is avowed openly and the open course of action, and He knows what the breasts forge and what they store of thoughts and feelings and all that is suggested secretly to the mind and He knows all that you do out of sigh |
| 87:8 | | We shall facilitate your task and lead you to the facile and ready course |
| 87:9 | | And so, exhort. any who is willing to open his heart's ears and favourably responds |
| 87:10 | | The responsive will be he who reveres Allah with bosom filled with reverential awe |
| 87:11 | | And it -the admonition- will be avoided and unwelcomed by the ill- omened, the unfortunate against whom have been denounced curses and woe |
| 87:12 | | Who will suffer in Hell the immense fire |
| 87:13 | | Wherein he does not die nor live or respire |
| 87:14 | | But blessed, indeed, is he who vindicates his own wrongs and is kindly disposed to benevolence |
| 87:15 | | Who calls Allah his Creator, to mind and engages in the act of worship, doing to Him sincere reverence |
| 87:16 | | But you people prefer the life here afore the heavenly b1iss, knowing it is illusive and alluring |
| 87:17 | | While the Hereafter is far better, blissful, infinitely lasting and enduring |
| 87:18 | | This indeed, has been emphasized in the earlier Scriptures |
| 87:19 | | The Scriptures of Ibrahim and Mussa |
