The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 who has created and shaped, 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 And Who bringeth forth the pasturage, 4 then made it dry dark, flaky stubble, 5 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget 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 He who fears [God] will heed the reminder, 10 but the wretched will turn away from it. 11 He will be cast into the Great Fire. 12 wherein he will neither die nor remain alive. 13 He who purifies himself, 14 remember the name of the Lord, and pray to Him. 15 But rather you prefer the life of this world! 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls, 18 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
