The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 who created and shaped, 2 and who determines the nature [of all that exists,] and thereupon guides it [towards its fulfilment,] 3 And Who brings out the pasturage, 4 then made it a blackening wrack. 5 WE SHALL teach thee, and thou wilt not forget [aught of what thou art taught,] 6 Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 So remind, if the reminder should benefit; 9 The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah): 10 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it, 11 He who shall roast into the Great Fire, 12 Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). 13 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself 14 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays. 15 Nay, but you prefer the present life; 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Verily! This is in the former Scriptures, 18 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa. 19
