The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 who has created and shaped, 2 Who determined and guided them, 3 And Who bringeth forth the pasturage, 4 Then makes it dried up, dust-colored. 5 We shall make thee recite, to forget not 6 except what Allah should wish. He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden. 7 We shall make all your tasks easy. 8 So remind, if the reminder should benefit; 9 He will heed who feareth, 10 And the wretched shunneth it. 11 who will roast in the Great Fire, 12 Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). 13 Surely he will succeed who grows in goodness, 14 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. 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 Scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
