The Highest -Al-'A'la |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 87. 1 ] Exalt the Name of your Lord, the Highest, |
|
2 |
|
[ 87. 2 ] who has created and shaped, |
|
3 |
|
[ 87. 3 ] who has ordained and guided, |
|
4 |
|
[ 87. 4 ] who brings forth the pastures, |
|
5 |
|
[ 87. 5 ] then made it dry dark, flaky stubble, |
|
6 |
|
[ 87. 6 ] We shall make you recite so that you will not forget, |
|
7 |
|
[ 87. 7 ] except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is ( spoken ) aloud and what is hidden. |
|
8 |
|
[ 87. 8 ] We shall ease you to the easy. |
|
9 |
|
[ 87. 9 ] Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, |
|
10 |
|
[ 87. 10 ] and he who fears shall remember, |
|
11 |
|
[ 87. 11 ] but the most wretched shall avoid it, |
|
12 |
|
[ 87. 12 ] who will roast in the Great Fire, |
|
13 |
|
[ 87. 13 ] in which he will neither die nor live therein. |
|
14 |
|
[ 87. 14 ] Prosperous is he who purifies himself, |
|
15 |
|
[ 87. 15 ] and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays. |
|
16 |
|
[ 87. 16 ] But you prefer the present life, |
|
17 |
|
[ 87. 17 ] but the Everlasting Life is better, and more enduring. |
|
18 |
|
[ 87. 18 ] Surely, this is in the ancient Scrolls, |
|
19 |
|
[ 87. 19 ] the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses. |
