87:0 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

87:1 Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High.

87:2 He creates and shapes.

87:3 He designs and guides.

87:4 He produces the pasture.

87:5 Then turns it into light hay.

87:6 We will recite to you; do not forget.

87:7 Everything is in accordance with GOD's will; He knows what is declared, and what is hidden.

87:8 We will direct you to the easiest path.

87:9 Therefore, you shall remind; perhaps the reminder will benefit.

87:10 The reverent will take heed.

87:11 The wicked will avoid it.

87:12 Consequently, he will suffer the great Hellfire.

87:13 Wherein he never dies, nor stays alive.

87:14 Successful indeed is the one who redeems his soul.

87:15 By remembering the name of his Lord and observing the contact prayers (Salat).

87:16 Indeed, you are preoccupied with this first life.

87:17 Even though the Hereafter is far better and everlasting.

87:18 This is recorded in the earlier teachings.

87:19 The teachings of Abraham and Moses.
