Al-A'la

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى

Who created and proportioned

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

And who destined and [then] guided

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

And who brings out the pasture

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ

And [then] makes it black stubble

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ

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

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

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

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ

And We will ease you toward ease

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

So remind, if the reminder should benefit

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ

But the wretched one will avoid it

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

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

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

Neither dying therein nor living

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

But you prefer the worldly life

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
