The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ (Muhammad), glorify the Name of your lord, the Most High, 1 Who creates and proportions, 2 and who determines the nature [of all that exists,] and thereupon guides it [towards its fulfilment,] 3 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture, 4 then turns it into black stubble. 5 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, 6 Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. 7 We shall make all your tasks easy. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 He who fears (Allah) shall heed it, 10 but the reprobates will turn away 11 and suffer the heat of the great fire 12 In which he will neither die nor live. 13 Prosperous is he who purifies himself, 14 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays. 15 Nay! you prefer the life of this 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
