The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ (Muhammad), glorify the Name of your lord, the Most High, 1 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; 2 And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture); 3 who brings forth green pasture, 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 what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden. 7 We shall take you slowly towards ease. 8 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 But it will be avoided by the wretched, 11 Who will burn in the terrible Fire, 12 Wherein he shall neither die nor live, 13 He who purified himself shall prosper, 14 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays. 15 But ye prefer the life of this world, 16 although the life to come is better and more enduring. 17 Verily this is in Writs ancient 18 the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
