The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest, 1 Who created and proportioned 2 Who determines and directs, 3 who brought 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 We shall facilitate for you the Easy Way. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, 9 He will heed who feareth, 10 But the most hapless will flout it, 11 The one who will enter the biggest fire. 12 Wherein he will neither die nor live. 13 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself 14 remembering his Lord's name and praying. 15 But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world, 16 Whereas the Hereafter is better and more lasting. 17 Verily! This is in the former Scriptures, 18 the scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
