The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 Who creates, then makes complete, 2 Who determines and directs, 3 who brings forth the pastures, 4 and thereupon causes it to decay into rust-brown stubble! 5 We shall make you recite so that you will not forget, 6 save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden. 7 And We shall create the means of ease for you. 8 So remind them if reminder is profitable: 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 But it will be avoided by the wretched, 11 The one who will enter the biggest fire. 12 Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). 13 He who purifies himself, 14 And recites the name of his Lord and serves with devotion. 15 No; but you prefer the present life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books, 18 The Books of Abraham and Moses. 19
