The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, 1 Who creates and proportions, 2 And who destined and [then] guided 3 It is He who has caused the grass to grow, 4 then made it dry dark, flaky stubble, 5 WE SHALL teach thee, and thou wilt not forget [aught of what thou art taught,] 6 Unless God may please. He knows the visible and knows what is hidden. 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Remind, if the reminder can be of benefit. 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 But it will be avoided by the wretched, 11 He who will be flung to the great Fire 12 Wherein he shall neither die nor live, 13 He who purified himself shall prosper, 14 and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. 15 But you prefer the present life, 16 and the world to come is better, and more enduring. 17 And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),- 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
