Surah Al-A'la

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْاَعْلَی 1

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ فَسَوّٰی 2

Who created and proportioned

وَالَّذِیْ قَدَّرَ فَهَدٰی 3

And who destined and [then] guided

وَالَّذِیْۤ اَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعٰی 4

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهٗ غُثَآءً اَحْوٰی ۟ؕ 5

And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسٰۤی 6

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

اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ یَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا یَخْفٰی ۟ؕ 7

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

وَنُیَسِّرُكَ لِلْیُسْرٰی 8

And We will ease you toward ease.

فَذَكِّرْ اِنْ نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرٰی ۟ؕ 9

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

سَیَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ یَّخْشٰی 10

He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

وَیَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْاَشْقَی 11

But the wretched one will avoid it –

الَّذِیْ یَصْلَی النَّارَ الْكُبْرٰی 12

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

ثُمَّ لَا یَمُوْتُ فِیْهَا وَلَا یَحْیٰی ۟ؕ 13

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكّٰی 14

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهٖ فَصَلّٰی ۟ؕ 15

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُوْنَ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا 16

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَالْاٰخِرَةُ خَیْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰی ۟ؕ 17

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَفِی الصُّحُفِ الْاُوْلٰی 18

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَمُوْسٰی 19

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
