The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ Hallow thou the name of thine Lord, the Most High, 1 Who created and proportioned 2 And Who hath disposed and then guided, 3 And Who brings forth herbage, 4 Then reduces them to rusty rubbish. 5 We shall make you recite so that you will not forget, 6 Except what Allah wills; indeed He knows all the evident and all the concealed. 7 We shall ease you to the easy. 8 Wherefore admonish thou; admonition hath surely profited, 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 but aloof from it will remain that most hapless wretch 11 He will be cast into the Great Fire. 12 Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). 13 Lasting happiness will be for those who purify themselves, 14 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth, 15 No; but you prefer the present life, 16 although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. 17 Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, 18 The Books of Abraham and Moses. 19
