The All High (Al-A'alaa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, 1 Who createth, then disposeth; 2 who has ordained and guided, 3 The One Who produced 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 Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. 7 We shall make all your tasks easy. 8 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder. 9 Admonished is he indeed who feareth, 10 And the wretched shunneth it. 11 Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning, 12 wherein he will neither die nor remain alive. 13 But those will prosper who purify themselves, 14 And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer. 15 Nay! you prefer the life of this world, 16 Though the life to come is better and abiding. 17 Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, 18 the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses. 19
