The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who creates, then makes complete, 2 And who destined and [then] guided 3 And Who bringeth forth the pasturage, 4 Then turneth it to russet stubble. 5 We shall make you to recite (the Quran), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it), 6 save what God may will [thee to forget] - for, verily, He [alone] knows all that is open to [man's] perception as well as all that is hidden [from it] 7 And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 Those who have fear of God will benefit 10 Only the wretch will turn aside, 11 and suffer the heat of the great fire 12 in which he will neither die nor live therein. 13 Lasting happiness will be for those who purify themselves, 14 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. 15 But you prefer the life of this world, 16 While the hereafter is better and more lasting. 17 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, 18 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
