Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
Yusuf Ali

Yusuf Ali
To him dost thou attend;
Yusuf Ali
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
Yusuf Ali
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
Yusuf Ali

Yusuf Ali
Of him wast thou unmindful.
Yusuf Ali
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
Yusuf Ali
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
Yusuf Ali
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
Yusuf Ali
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
Yusuf Ali
(Written) by the hands of scribes-
Yusuf Ali
Honourable and Pious and Just.

Yusuf Ali

Yusuf Ali
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
