Al-A'la The Most High

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى ۝١

87:1 Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٢

87:2 Who createth, then disposeth;

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ۝٣

87:3 Who measureth, then guideth;

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ ۝٤

87:4 Who bringeth forth the pasturage,

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ ۝٥

87:5 Then turneth it to russet stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ۝٦

87:6 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ۝٧

87:7 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ۝٨

87:8 And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ۝٩

87:9 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ۝١٠

87:10 He will heed who feareth,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ۝١١

87:11 But the most hapless will flout it,

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝١٢

87:12 He who will be flung to the great Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ۝١٣

87:13 Wherein he will neither die nor live.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١٤

87:14 He is successful who groweth,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ۝١٥

87:15 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۝١٦

87:16 But ye prefer the life of the world

وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ۝١٧

87:17 Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۝١٨

87:18 Lo! This is in the former scrolls.

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ۝١٩

87:19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.
