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 who created and shaped, 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 who brings forth green pasture, 4 and thereupon causes it to decay into rust-brown stubble! 5 We shall now make you read (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), so you will not forget. 6 Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden. 7 And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease. 8 So remind them if reminder is profitable: 9 The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah), 10 Only the wretch will turn aside, 11 He will be cast into the Great Fire. 12 then he shall neither die therein, nor live. 13 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself 14 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays. 15 But you prefer the life of this world, 16 although the life to come is better and more enduring. 17 This is surely in the earlier Books, 18 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses. 19
