The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, 1 Who creates, then makes complete, 2 And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture); 3 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture, 4 And then makes it dark stubble. 5 [O Prophet!] We shall make you recite the Quran so that you will not forget any of it -- 6 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden; 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit. 9 He who fears (Allah) shall heed it, 10 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it, 11 he who [in the life to come] shall have to endure the great fire 12 Neither dying therein nor living. 13 Surely he will succeed who grows in goodness, 14 and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays. 15 Nay! you prefer the life of this world, 16 whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 Verily this is in Writs ancient 18 The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses). 19
