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 creates [every thing,] and thereupon forms it in accordance with what it is meant to be, 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 who brings forth the pastures, 4 then made it a blackening wrack. 5 We shall make you recite (the Qur'an) so that you will not forget it, 6 Unless God may please. He knows the visible and knows what is hidden. 7 We shall ease you to follow the way of Ease. 8 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder. 9 He will heed who feareth, 10 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it, 11 Who will burn in the terrible Fire, 12 in which he will neither die nor live therein. 13 He who purified himself shall prosper, 14 and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. 15 But rather you prefer the life of this world! 16 While the hereafter is better and more lasting. 17 Lo! This is in the former scrolls. 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
