The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who hath created and then proportioned, 2 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; 3 And Who brings forth herbage, 4 then made it a blackening wrack. 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 And We will ease you toward ease. 8 So render good counsel if good counsel will avail. 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 And the most wicked will stay away from it. 11 Who shall enter the great fire; 12 then he shall neither die therein, nor live. 13 Surely he will succeed who grows in goodness, 14 And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer. 15 Nay, you prefer the life of this world; 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 Writs of Ibrahim and Musa. 19
