1Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

2Who created and proportioned

3And who destined and [then] guided

4And who brings out the pasture

5And [then] makes it black stubble.

6We will make you recite, [O Muḥammad], and you will not forget,

7Except what Allāh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

8And We will ease you toward ease.¹⁷⁷⁷

9So remind, if the reminder should benefit;¹⁷⁷⁸

10He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

11But the wretched one will avoid it –

12[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

13Neither dying therein nor living.

14He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

15And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

16But you prefer the worldly life,

17While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

18Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

19The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
