87. "The Most High"
 
     
1.
Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,
 
2.
Who creates and loves all of his creation;  
3.
Who measures, then guides all manner of wisdom;  
4.
Who brings forth the fertile lands,
 
5.
From what once was coarse brown stubble.
 
6.
Make them read and hear O Messenger so that they shall not forget
 
7.
Behold! Allah knows all things disclosed and all that which still is hidden and deliberately corrupted;
 
8.
And He shall reveal in time that which is truth and that which is not.
 
9.
Therefore remind humanity, for it is useful to be reminded.
 
10.
That they may respect and honor Him, not fear him,  
11.
But the most wicked will sow seeds of poisonous fear and hatred,
 
12.
They will find themselves in a state of great anguish in the afterlife,
 
13.
Wherein as ghosts they are neither alive, nor dead.
 
14.
Yet those who respect life, respect Allah,
 
15.
And honor him in wise learning and noble deeds,
 
16.
But woe you who prefer a life of evil to this world
 
17.
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
 
18.
Behold! This is great truth given in most ancient scrolls.
 
19.
To even the earliest prophets of Allah.
