Surah Al-A'la

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1

   سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى

   Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

2. 2

   ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

   Who created and proportioned

3. 3

   وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

   And who destined and [then] guided

4. 4

   وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ

   And who brings out the pasture

5. 5

   فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

   And [then] makes it black stubble.

6. 6

   سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

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

7. 7

   إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

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

8. 8

   وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

   And We will ease you toward ease.

9. 9

   فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

   So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

10. 10

    سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

    He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

11. 11

    وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

    But the wretched one will avoid it -

12. 12

    ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

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

13. 13

    ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

    Neither dying therein nor living.

14. 14

    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

    He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

15. 15

    وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

    And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

16. 16

    بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

    But you prefer the worldly life,

17. 17

    وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

    While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

18. 18

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

    Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

19. 19

    صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

    The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
