Al-A'la

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى﴿1﴾

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ﴿2﴾

Who created and proportioned

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ﴿3﴾

And who destined and [then] guided

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ﴿4﴾

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ﴿5﴾

And [then] makes it black stubble

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ﴿6﴾

We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ﴿7﴾

Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ﴿8﴾

And We will ease you toward ease

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ﴿9﴾

So remind, if the reminder should benefit

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ﴿10﴾

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى﴿11﴾

But the wretched one will avoid it

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ﴿12﴾

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ﴿13﴾

Neither dying therein nor living

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ﴿14﴾

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ﴿15﴾

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا﴿16﴾

But you prefer the worldly life

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ﴿17﴾

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ﴿18﴾

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ﴿19﴾

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses
