The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Hallow thou the name of thine Lord, the Most High, 1 who has created and shaped, 2 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; 3 who brings forth the pastures, 4 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble. 5 We shall make you recite (the Qur'an) so that you will not forget it, 6 Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden. 7 We shall ease thee unto the Easing. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 but the reprobates will turn away 11 and suffer the heat of the great fire 12 Then he neither dies in it, nor lives. 13 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself, 14 and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. 15 No; but you prefer the present life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
