The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who creates and proportions, 2 decreed their destinies, and provided them with guidance. 3 And Who brings out the pasturage, 4 Then turneth it to russet stubble. 5 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget 6 Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. 7 We shall ease thee unto the Easing. 8 So remind them if reminder is profitable: 9 The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah), 10 But the wretched one will avoid it - 11 The one who will enter the biggest fire. 12 where he will neither die nor live. 13 Prosperous is he who purifies himself, 14 and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays. 15 Nay, you prefer the life of this world; 16 Whereas the Hereafter is better and everlasting. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 The Books of Abraham and Moses. 19
