Surah Al-A'la
“The Most High” · 19 verses · Meccan · Revelation order: 8
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Sabbihi isma rabbika al-aAAla
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
Who created and proportioned
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Wallathee qaddara fahada
And who destined and [then] guided
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
Wallathee akhraja almarAAa
And who brings out the pasture
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
And [then] makes it black stubble.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
Sanuqri-oka fala tansa
We will make you recite, [O Muḥammad], and you will not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Illa ma shaa Allahuinnahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
Except what Allāh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
And We will ease you toward ease.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Fathakkir in nafaAAati aththikra
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Wayatajannabuha al-ashqa
But the wretched one will avoid it
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Allathee yasla annaraalkubra
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Thumma la yamootu feeha walayahya
Neither dying therein nor living.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Qad aflaha man tazakka
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Bal tu'thiroona alhayata addunya
But you prefer the worldly life,
وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Wal-akhiratu khayrun waabqa
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Inna hatha lafee assuhufial-oola
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
