The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest, 1 Who hath created and then proportioned, 2 And who destined and [then] guided 3 and who brings forth herbage, 4 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble. 5 We shall now make you read (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), so you will not forget. 6 except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is (spoken) aloud and what is hidden. 7 We shall facilitate for you the Easy Way. 8 Remind, if the reminder can be of benefit. 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 But the wretched one will avoid it - 11 he who [in the life to come] shall have to endure the great fire 12 Neither dying therein nor living. 13 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself, 14 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth, 15 But no, you prefer the life of the world, 16 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 Verily this is in Writs ancient 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
