The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 who created and shaped, 2 And the One Who kept proper measure and then guided. 3 Who brought forth the pasture, 4 and then made it into a blackish straw. 5 WE SHALL teach thee, and thou wilt not forget [aught of what thou art taught,] 6 save what God may will [thee to forget] - for, verily, He [alone] knows all that is open to [man's] perception as well as all that is hidden [from it] 7 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path). 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 But it will be avoided by the wretched, 11 Who will burn in the terrible Fire, 12 Wherein he shall neither die nor live, 13 But those will prosper who purify themselves, 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 even though the life hereafter will be better and will last forever. 17 This is surely in the earlier Books, 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
