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 The One Who created, and then made proper. 2 And Who hath disposed and then guided, 3 And Who brings forth herbage, 4 then made it dry dark, flaky stubble, 5 We shall make you recite so that you will not forget, 6 Unless God may please. He knows the visible and knows what is hidden. 7 We shall ease you to the easy. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, 9 The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah), 10 But it will be avoided by the wretched, 11 He who shall roast into the Great Fire, 12 then he shall neither die therein, nor live. 13 Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself, 14 remembering his Lord's name and praying. 15 Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world; 16 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
