The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Magnify the Name of thy Lord the Most High 1 Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it; 2 who determined and guided, 3 The One Who produced pasture. 4 And then makes it dark stubble. 5 We shall enable thee to recite, and then thou shalt not forget, 6 Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. 7 And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease. 8 So render good counsel if good counsel will avail. 9 in mind will keep it he who stands in awe [of God,] 10 And the wretched shunneth it. 11 Who shall enter the great fire; 12 Then he will neither die in it, nor live. 13 He indeed hath attained bliss who hath cleansed himself, 14 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. 15 But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, 18 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa. 19
