87:1  Extol the holiness of the name of your Lord, the Most High

87:2  Who creates (all things) and gives (them) suitable and perfect shapes

87:3  Who determines (the capacities and faculties) and furnishes them with (appropriate) guidance to achieve the final goal

87:4  And Who brings forth the pasturage

87:5  And then turns it into dried up rubbish, gray coloured

87:6  We will soon teach (you and) make you recite (the Qur'an) so that you shall not forget (any part of it)

87:7  Except whatever (other things which) Allah will (and which things you are apt to forget as a human being). Indeed He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden

87:8  And We shall provide you (every) facility and make things easy for you

87:9  Therefore keep on reminding (the people), surely reminding does good

87:10  He who stands in awe (of God) will heed

87:11  But the person steeped in wickedness goes on avoiding it

87:12  He who will enter the great Fire

87:13  Then he shall neither die therein nor live

87:14  Verily, that person who purifies himself truly will succeed (both in this life and in the Hereafter)

87:15  And remembers and extols the name of his Lord and offers Prayers

87:16  But the fact is that you people prefer the present life

87:17  Though the (the life in) the Hereafter is much better and more lasting

87:18  These (teachings) are so stated in the earlier Scriptures

87:19  The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses
