87. Al-A'la

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 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 خَيْرٌ 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
