The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 The One Who created, and then made proper. 2 And who destined and [then] guided 3 who brought forth the pasturage 4 Then turneth it to russet stubble. 5 We shall now make you read (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), so you will not forget. 6 Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden. 7 And We will ease you toward ease. 8 REMIND, THEN, [others of the truth, regardless of] whether this reminding [would seem to] be of use [or not]: 9 He who fears will mind, 10 And the wretched shunneth it. 11 who will roast in the Great Fire, 12 where he will neither die nor live. 13 He who purifies himself, 14 And who remembereth the name of his Lord, and then prayeth. 15 But you prefer the present life, 16 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books, 18 Writs of Ibrahim and Musa. 19
