It is 19 Verses 1 Unit (Ruku’): Revealed at Makkah
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
1. Praise highly and glorify the Name of (Allah) your Lord, the Most High,
2. He (Allah) who has created (everything), and then proportioned (in perfection).
3. And He (Allah) who destined, and then guided,
4. And He (Allah) who brings out the pasture,
5. Then makes it dried up, dust colored.
6. We shall make you (O Prophet Muhammad) recite (the Qur’an), so you shall not forget,
7. Except what Allah may will, surely He knows what is apparent, and what is hidden.
8. And We will make it easy for you (to follow) the easy Way (Islam).
9. Therefore remind, for the reminding benefits (the believer).
10. The one who is in Awe (and Reverence before Allah) will remember,
11. And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
12. Who will (enter and) burn in the greatest Fire;
13. Then therein he will neither die nor live.
14. He indeed will be successful who purifies himself (from evil),
15. And mentions the Name of his Lord (Allah) and prays.
16. But you prefer the life of this world,
17. While the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
18. Most surely this is in the earlier Scriptures,
19. The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
