| 1. * | PRAISE the name of thy Lord THE MOST HIGH, |
| 2. * | Who hath created and balanced all things, |
| 3. * | Who hath fixed their destinies and guideth them, |
| 4. * | Who bringeth forth the pasture, |
| 5. * | And reduceth it to dusky stubble. |
| 6. * | We will teach thee to recite the Koran, nor aught shalt thou forget, |
| 7. * | Save what God pleaseth; for he knoweth alike things manifest and hidden; |
| 8. * | And we will make easy to thee our easy ways. |
| 9. * | Warn, therefore, for the warning is profitable: |
| 10. * | He that feareth God will receive the warning,- |
| 11. * | And the most reprobate only will turn aside from it, |
| 12. * | Who shall be exposed to the terrible fire, |
| 13. * | In which he shall not die, and shall not live. |
| 14. * | Happy he who is purified by Islam, |
| 15. * | And who remembereth the name of his Lord and prayeth. |
| 16. * | But ye prefer this present life, |
| 17. * | Though the life to come is better and more enduring. |
| 18. * | This truly is in the Books of old, |
| 19. * | The Books of Abraham and Moses. |
