> Surah 87
> 
> Al A'la (The Most High)
> 
> 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.
