The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest, 1 Who created and proportioned 2 decreed their destinies, and provided them with guidance. 3 And Who brings forth herbage, 4 Then makes it dried up, dust-colored. 5 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, 6 save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden. 7 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path). 8 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit. 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 And the wretched shunneth it. 11 Who will burn in the terrible Fire, 12 in which he will neither die nor live therein. 13 Prosperous is he who purifies himself, 14 remember the name of the Lord, and pray to Him. 15 But rather you prefer the life of this world! 16 Whereas the Hereafter is better and everlasting. 17 Verily this is in Writs ancient 18 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa. 19
