The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it; 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 And Who brings forth herbage, 4 and thereupon causes it to decay into rust-brown stubble! 5 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget 6 Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. 7 We shall make all your tasks easy. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah), 10 Only the wretch will turn aside, 11 He who will be flung to the great Fire 12 Wherein he shall neither die nor live, 13 But those will prosper who purify themselves, 14 And recites the name of his Lord and serves with devotion. 15 But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world, 16 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 Lo! This is in the former scrolls. 18 the scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
