   And (then) makes it black stubble.

   87:5

6. سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ

   We will make you recite, (O Muhammad), and you will not forget,

   87:6

7. إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

   Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

    He who fears (Allah) will be reminded.

    (He) who will (enter and) burn in the greatest Fire,

    87:12

    And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

    87:15

16. بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

    But you prefer the worldly life,

    87:16

17. وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

    While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

    87:17

18. إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
