Surah Al-A'la

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى۝١

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

الَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ۝٢

Who created and proportioned

وَالَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ۝٣

And who destined and [then] guided

وَالَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ۝٤

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ۝٥

And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ۝٦

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

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ۝٧

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

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ۝٨

And We will ease you toward ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ۝٩

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ۝١٠

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى۝١١

But the wretched one will avoid it -

الَّذِى يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ۝١٢

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

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ۝١٣

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ۝١٤

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ۝١٥

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَوٰةَ الدُّنْيَا۝١٦

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَالْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ۝١٧

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ۝١٨

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ۝١٩

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
