The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, 1 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; 2 And who destined and [then] guided 3 And who brings out the pasture 4 and thereupon causes it to decay into rust-brown stubble! 5 We shall make you recite and then you will not forget, 6 Save that which Allah may will. Verily He knoweth the public and that which is hidden. 7 We shall ease you to follow the way of Ease. 8 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder. 9 and he who fears shall remember, 10 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it, 11 who will roast in the Great Fire, 12 wherein he will neither die nor remain alive. 13 But those will prosper who purify themselves, 14 remember the name of the Lord, and pray to Him. 15 Nay, you prefer the life of this world; 16 whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 17 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures, 18 the scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
