   87:4

   We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

   87:6

7. إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ ٧

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

    He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

    87:10

12. ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ١٢

    [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

    87:12

13. ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ١٣

    Neither dying therein nor living.

    87:13

    But you prefer the worldly life,

    87:16

17. وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ١٧

    While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

    87:17
