The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 who creates [every thing,] and thereupon forms it in accordance with what it is meant to be, 2 Who determines and directs, 3 who brings forth the pastures, 4 And [then] makes it black stubble. 5 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt 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 So remind them if reminder is profitable: 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 but the most wretched shall avoid it, 11 even he who shall roast in the Great Fire, 12 Neither dying therein nor living. 13 Surely he will succeed who grows in goodness, 14 remembering his Lord's name and praying. 15 But no, you prefer the life of the world, 16 but the Everlasting Life is better, and more enduring. 17 Lo! This is in the former scrolls. 18 The Books of Abraham and Moses. 19
