1Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High

2Who createth, then disposeth

3Who measureth, then guideth

4Who bringeth forth the pasturage

5Then turneth it to russet stubble

6We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

7Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden

8And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease

9Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder

10He will heed who feareth

11But the most hapless will flout it

12He who will be flung to the great Fire

13Wherein he will neither die nor live

14He is successful who groweth

15And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth

16But ye prefer the life of the world

17Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting

18Lo! This is in the former scrolls

19The Books of Abraham and Moses
