>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        Praise the name of thy Lord The Most High,
>  
>        Who hath created and balanced all things,
>  
>        Who hath fixed their destinies and guideth them,
>  
>        Who bringeth forth the pasture,
>  
>        And reduceth it to dusky stubble.
>  
>        We will teach thee to recite the Koran, nor aught shalt thou forget,
>  
>        Save what God pleaseth; for he knoweth alike things manifest and
> hidden;
>  
>        And we will make easy to thee our easy ways.
>  
>        Warn, therefore, for the warning is profitable:
>  
> 87:10  He that feareth God will receive the warning, -
>  
>        And the most reprobate only will turn aside from it,
>  
>        Who shall not be exposed to the terrible fire,
>  
>        In which he shall not die, and shall not live.
>  
>        Happy he who is purified by Islam,
>  
>        And who remembereth the name of his Lord and prayeth.
>  
>        But ye prefer this present life,
>  
>        Though the life to come is better and more enduring.
>  
>        This truly is in the Books of old,
>  
>        The Books of Abraham and Moses.
