In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

A. L. M. (1)

These are Verses of the Wise Book,- (2)

A Guide and a Mercy to the Doers of Good,- (3)

Those who establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity, and have (in their hearts) the assurance of the Hereafter. (4)

These are on (true) guidance from their Lord: and these are the ones who will prosper. (5)

But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a Humiliating Penalty. (6)

When Our Signs are rehearsed to such a one, he turns away in arrogance, as if he heard them not, as if there were deafness in both his ears: announce to him a grievous Penalty. (7)

For those who believe and work righteous deeds, there will be Gardens of Bliss,- (8)

To dwell therein. The promise of Allah is true: and He is Exalted in Power, Wise. (9)

He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs. (10)
