The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ (Muhammad), glorify the Name of your lord, the Most High, 1 Who hath created and then proportioned, 2 Who determined and guided them, 3 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture, 4 and then made it into a blackish straw. 5 We shall make you recite and then you will not forget, 6 except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is (spoken) aloud and what is hidden. 7 And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds). 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, 9 The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah): 10 But the most hapless will flout it, 11 He who will be flung to the great Fire 12 then he shall neither die therein, nor live. 13 But those will prosper who purify themselves, 14 and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays. 15 But you prefer the worldly life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
