The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, 1 Who hath created and then proportioned, 2 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; 3 And Who brings out the pasturage, 4 And then makes it dark stubble. 5 We shall make thee recite, to forget not 6 except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is (spoken) aloud and what is hidden. 7 We shall ease thee unto the Easing. 8 So remind them if reminder is profitable: 9 Those who fear will understand. 10 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones, 11 Who will burn in the terrible Fire, 12 wherein he will neither die nor remain alive. 13 To happiness [in the life to come] will indeed attain he who attains to purity [in this world,] 14 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth, 15 But you prefer the worldly life, 16 whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
