Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1 Praise the name of your Supreme Lord above all things,
2. He created all things and made them symmetrical.
3 He predestined all things and directed them.
4 He brought forth pasture,
5 Then turn it into black dry grass.
6 I will make you read, so you will not forget,
Seven Unless Allah wills you to forget.He does know overt and subtle words and deeds.
8 I will make you follow the easy way,
9 Therefore teach all men, if it be good for them to teach.
10 Whoever fears the Lord will wake up;
One by one, the unlucky will retreat,
12 He shall be thrown into the fire,
13 Then, neither die nor live in the fire.
14 The educated man has indeed succeeded,
15 He remembers the name of his Lord and observes the prayer.
16 Otherwise, you choose the life of this world;
17 In fact, the future life is better and longer.
18 Surely this is written in the ancient scriptures,
19 Included in the scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
