The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 Who created and proportioned 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 who brought forth the pasturage 4 And [then] makes it black stubble. 5 We shall teach you (the Quran) and you will not forget it 6 except whatever God wills; He knows both what is manifest and what is hidden -- 7 We shall make all your tasks easy. 8 Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, 9 Those who fear will understand. 10 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones, 11 He will be cast into the Great Fire. 12 Then he will neither die in it, nor live. 13 Lasting happiness will be for those who purify themselves, 14 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth, 15 But nay, [O men,] you prefer the life of this world, 16 Whereas the Hereafter is better and more lasting. 17 This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books, 18 the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
