Al-A'la

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى

Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Who createth, then disposeth

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

Who measureth, then guideth

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ

Who bringeth forth the pasturage

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

Then turneth it to russet stubble

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

He will heed who feareth

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

But the most hapless will flout it

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

He who will be flung to the great Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

Wherein he will neither die nor live

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

He is successful who groweth

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

But ye prefer the life of the world

وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

Lo! This is in the former scrolls

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

The Books of Abraham and Moses
