The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who creates and proportions, 2 who determined and guided, 3 Who bringeth forth the pasturage, 4 And then makes it dark stubble. 5 We shall make you to recite (the Quran), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it), 6 Unless God may please. He knows the visible and knows what is hidden. 7 We shall facilitate for you the Easy Way. 8 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder. 9 He who fears will mind, 10 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones, 11 Who shall enter the great fire; 12 where he will neither die nor live. 13 He who purifies himself, 14 and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. 15 But you prefer the life of this world, 16 although the life to come is better and more enduring. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
