The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, 1 Who creates and proportions, 2 And the One Who kept proper measure and then guided. 3 and who brings forth herbage, 4 then turns it into black stubble. 5 We shall make thee recite, to forget not 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 remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 but it will be ignored by the most unfortunate, 11 He will be cast into the Great Fire. 12 In which they will then neither die nor live. 13 But those will prosper who purify themselves, 14 and remembers his Sustainer's name, and prays [unto Him]. 15 No; but you prefer the present life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Verily, [all] this has indeed been [said] in the earlier revelations 18 the scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
