The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who hath created and then proportioned, 2 Who determines and directs, 3 And Who brings out the pasturage, 4 then caused it to wither away. 5 We shall enable thee to recite, and then thou shalt not forget, 6 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden; 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Therefore advise, if advising is beneficial. 9 Soon whoever fears will heed advice. 10 but the most wretched shall flout it, 11 he who [in the life to come] shall have to endure the great fire 12 Wherein he shall neither die nor live, 13 To happiness [in the life to come] will indeed attain he who attains to purity [in this world,] 14 and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays. 15 No; but you prefer the present life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
