| 87:1 | | Strive to raise the Name of your Lord, the Most High. (Establish His Glory on earth (56:96)) | | 87:2 | | Who creates and proportions. (So that all things might become what they are meant to be) | | 87:3 | | And Who appoints due measure and then shows the way (to all things as to their functions) | | 87:4 | | And Who brings forth the lush pasture | | 87:5 | | And then turns it into rust-brown residue. (18:45) | | 87:6 | | (O Messenger) We shall teach you thus that you will never forget. (Mankind need Guidance like all things in the Universe do) | | 87:7 | | Allah never Wills you to forget (17:86). Behold, He knows the manifest and what is hidden | | 87:8 | | And thus We shall ease your way to the ultimate ease. (To the end that you will establish the Qur'an in the society) | | 87:9 | | Therefore, keep reminding, for, the Reminder does benefit | | 87:10 | | (Behold), he will heed who fears (the consequences of pre-emptive rejection) | | 87:11 | | And only the unfortunate will stay on the side-lines | | 87:12 | | He who will be cast into the great Fire | | 87:13 | | Wherein he neither dies nor lives. Mere survival | | 87:14 | | Successful, indeed, is he who primes his 'Self' for development. (Living upright, helping others) | | 87:15 | | And keeps foremost in mind the Name and the Attributes of his Lord and then follows through | | 87:16 | | But nay, you prefer the life of this world. (Given to instant gains instead of living upright that ensures success in both lives (2:201), (3:147), (4:134), (7:156), (10:64), (17:72), (28:77), (42:22)) | | 87:17 | | Although the Hereafter is better and more enduring | | 87:18 | | Behold, this has been said in the former Revelations as well. ('Suhuf' = Scrolls = Revelations) | | 87:19 | | The Revelations of Abraham and Moses |
