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 creates [every thing,] and thereupon forms it in accordance with what it is meant to be, 2 And the One Who kept proper measure and then guided. 3 Who bringeth forth the pasturage, 4 then caused it to wither away. 5 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, 6 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden; 7 And We will ease you toward ease. 8 So remind them if reminder is profitable: 9 in mind will keep it he who stands in awe [of God,] 10 but the most wretched shall avoid it, 11 He who shall roast into the Great Fire, 12 In which he will neither die nor live. 13 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself, 14 And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers). 15 But you prefer the worldly life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Verily this is in Writs ancient 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
