| Surah Al-A'la | |||
| In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, | ||
| 2 | Who has created ( everything ), and then proportioned it; | ||
| 3 | And Who has measured ( preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched ); then guided ( i. e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture ); | ||
| 4 | And Who brings out the pasturage, | ||
| 5 | And then makes it dark stubble. | ||
| 6 | We shall make you to recite ( the Qur'ān ), so you ( O Muhammad ) shall not forget ( it ), | ||
| 7 | Except what Allāh, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden. | ||
| 8 | And We shall make easy for you ( O Muhammad ) the easy way ( i. e. the doing of righteous deeds ). | ||
| 9 | Therefore remind ( men ) in case the reminder profits ( them ). | ||
| 10 | The reminder will be received by him who fears ( Allāh ), | ||
| 11 | But it will be avoided by the wretched, | ||
| 12 | Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning, | ||
| 13 | Wherein he will neither die ( to be in rest ) nor live ( a good living ). | ||
| 14 | Indeed whosoever purifies himself ( by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islāmic Monotheism ) shall achieve success, | ||
| 15 | And remembers ( glorifies ) the Name of his Lord ( worships none but Allāh ), and prays ( five compulsory prayers and Nawāfil additional prayers ). | ||
| 16 | Nay, you prefer the life of this world; | ||
| 17 | Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting. | ||
| 18 | Verily! This is in the former Scriptures, | ||
| 19 | The Scriptures of Ibrāhim ( Abraham ) and Mūsa ( Moses ). | ||
