ሱራ Al-A'la

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى ﴿١﴾

Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

Who createth, then disposeth;

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٣﴾

Who measureth, then guideth;

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ ﴿٤﴾

Who bringeth forth the pasturage,

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Then turneth it to russet stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾

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

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

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

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

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

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

He will heed who feareth,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١١﴾

But the most hapless will flout it,

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

He who will be flung to the great Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

Wherein he will neither die nor live.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

He is successful who groweth,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ﴿١٥﴾

And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿١٦﴾

But ye prefer the life of the world

وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ﴿١٧﴾

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Lo! This is in the former scrolls.

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

The Books of Abraham and Moses.
