The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest, 1 who creates [every thing,] and thereupon forms it in accordance with what it is meant to be, 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 who brings forth green pasture, 4 and then made it into a blackish straw. 5 We shall teach you (the Quran) and you will not forget it 6 Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). 9 Those who fear will understand. 10 But the most hapless will flout it, 11 Who will enter the Great Fire, 12 In which they will then neither die nor live. 13 He who purified himself shall prosper, 14 remember the name of the Lord, and pray to Him. 15 However, (the disbelievers) prefer the worldly life 16 whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, 18 the revelations of Abraham and Moses. 19
