The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest, 1 The One Who created, and then made proper. 2 decreed their destinies, and provided them with guidance. 3 And who brings out the pasture 4 then made it dry dark, flaky stubble, 5 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, 6 Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden. 7 and [thus] shall We make easy for thee the path towards [ultimate] ease. 8 Remind, if the reminder can be of benefit. 9 He will heed who feareth, 10 but aloof from it will remain that most hapless wretch 11 and suffer the heat of the great fire 12 Then he will neither die in it, nor live. 13 Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself, 14 who remembers the name of his Lord and prays, shall indeed be successful. 15 But you prefer the worldly life, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
