The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ 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 and who brings forth herbage, 4 Then reduces them to rusty rubbish. 5 We shall make you recite (the Qur'an) so that you will not forget it, 6 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden; 7 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path). 8 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit. 9 Soon whoever fears will heed advice. 10 But the wretched one will avoid it - 11 Who shall enter the great fire; 12 then he shall neither die therein, nor live. 13 Prosperous is he who purifies himself, 14 and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. 15 Nay, but you prefer the present life; 16 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
