Al-A'laa

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Who created and ˹perfectly˺ fashioned ˹all˺

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

and Who ordained precisely and inspired accordingly

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ

and Who brings forth ˹green˺ pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

then reduces it to withered chaff.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

We will have you recite ˹the Quran, O  Prophet,˺ so you will not forget ˹any of it˺

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

unless Allah wills otherwise. He surely knows what is open and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

We will facilitate for you the Way of Ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

So ˹always˺ remind ˹with the Quran˺—˹even˺ if the reminder is beneficial ˹only to some˺.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

Those in awe ˹of Allah˺ will be mindful ˹of it˺.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

But it will be shunned by the most wretched

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

who will burn in the greatest Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

where they will not ˹be able to˺ live or die.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Successful indeed are those who purify themselves

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

remember the Name of their Lord, and pray.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

But you ˹deniers only˺ prefer the life of this world

وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

even though the Hereafter is far better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

This is certainly ˹mentioned˺ in the earlier Scriptures—

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
