This is the text of al-A'la. For the related article see Sura al-A'la. |
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. | بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ |
Celebrate the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted, (1) | سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ﴿١﴾ |
who created and proportioned, (2) | الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾ |
who determined and guided, (3) | وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٣﴾ |
who brought forth the pasture, (4) | وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ﴿٤﴾ |
then turned it into a black scum. (5) | فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾ |
We shall have you recite [the Qurʾān], then you will not forget [any of it] (6) | سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ ﴿٦﴾ |
except what Allah may wish. Indeed He knows the overt and what is hidden. (7) | إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّـهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ﴿٧﴾ |
We shall smooth your way to [preach] the easiest [canon]. (8) | وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٨﴾ |
So admonish, for admonition is indeed beneficial: (9) | فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ﴿٩﴾ |
he who fears will take admonition, (10) | سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾ |
and the most wretched will shun it (11) | وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ﴿١١﴾ |
—he who will enter the Great Fire, (12) | الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾ |
then neither live in it, nor die. (13) | ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾ |
Felicitous is he who purifies himself, (14) | قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾ |
celebrates the Name of his Lord, and prays. (15) | وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ﴿١٥﴾ |
Rather you prefer the life of this world, (16) | بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ﴿١٦﴾ |
while the Hereafter is better and more lasting. (17) | وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾ |
This is indeed in the former scriptures, (18) | إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾ |
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. (19)[1] | صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾ |
