The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, 1 who created and shaped, 2 Who determines and directs, 3 who brings forth green pasture, 4 then made it a blackening wrack. 5 We shall enable thee to recite, and then thou shalt not forget, 6 except what Allah should wish. He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden. 7 And We shall create the means of ease for you. 8 REMIND, THEN, [others of the truth, regardless of] whether this reminding [would seem to] be of use [or not]: 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 but the most wretched shall avoid it, 11 Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning, 12 wherein they will neither live nor die. 13 He is successful who groweth, 14 who remembers the name of his Lord and prays, shall indeed be successful. 15 But rather you prefer the life of this world! 16 although the life to come is better and more enduring. 17 Lo! This is in the former scrolls. 18 The Books of Abraham and Moses. 19
