The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 who created and shaped, 2 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; 3 Who bringeth forth the pasturage, 4 then made it a blackening wrack. 5 We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget, 6 except what Allah should wish. He knows all that is manifest and all that is hidden. 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Therefore, keep on preaching as long as it is of benefit. 9 The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah): 10 but the most wretched shall avoid it, 11 Who shall enter the great fire; 12 wherein they will neither live nor die. 13 Surely he will succeed who grows in goodness, 14 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth, 15 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 Writs of Ibrahim and Musa. 19
