The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Proclaim the Purity of your Lord, the Supreme. 1 Who creates and proportions, 2 Who determines and directs, 3 And Who brings forth herbage, 4 and thereupon causes it to decay into rust-brown stubble! 5 We shall enable thee to recite, and then thou shalt not forget, 6 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden; 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). 9 Those who have fear of God will benefit 10 And the wretched shunneth it. 11 Who shall enter the great fire; 12 Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). 13 He is successful who groweth, 14 remembering his Lord's name and praying. 15 But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world, 16 and the world to come is better, and more enduring. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
