The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest, 1 who has created and shaped, 2 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; 3 who brought forth the pasturage 4 Then made it dry and dark. 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 And We shall create the means of ease for you. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, 9 He who fears [Allah] will be reminded. 10 But the wretched one will avoid it - 11 even he who shall roast in the Great Fire, 12 where he will neither die nor live. 13 Prosperous is he who purifies himself, 14 And who remembereth the name of his Lord, and then prayeth. 15 But no, you prefer the life of the world, 16 and the world to come is better, and more enduring. 17 Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, 18 The Books of Abraham and Moses. 19
