#87. A'la *SURAH*

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High

2. Who hath created and further given order and proportion;

3. Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

4. And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture

5. And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble

6. By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message) so
thou shalt not forget

7. Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and
what is hidden

8. And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple
(Path)

9. Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the
hearer)

10. The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):

11. But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones

12. Who will enter the Great Fire

13. In which they will then neither die nor live

14. But those will prosper who purify themselves

15. And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord and (lift their
hearts) in Prayer

16. Nay (behold) ye prefer the life of this world;

17. But the Hereafter is better and more enduring

18. And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelations)

19. The Books of Abraham and Moses
