The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Hallow thou the name of thine Lord, the Most High, 1 Who created and proportioned 2 And the One Who kept proper measure and then guided. 3 The One Who produced pasture. 4 And then makes it dark stubble. 5 We will make you recite so you shall not forget, 6 Except what Allah wills; indeed He knows all the evident and all the concealed. 7 And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 but it will be ignored by the most unfortunate, 11 Who will burn in the terrible Fire, 12 wherein he will neither die nor remain alive. 13 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself, 14 And recites the name of his Lord and serves with devotion. 15 But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world, 16 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 This is surely in the earlier Books, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
