Surah Al-A'la ( The Most High ) - Aya count 19
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
( 1 ) Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
( 2 ) Who created and proportioned
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
( 3 ) And who destined and [then] guided
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
( 4 ) And who brings out the pasture
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
( 5 ) And [then] makes it black stubble.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
( 6 ) We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
( 7 ) Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
( 8 ) And We will ease you toward ease.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
( 9 ) So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
( 10 ) He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
( 11 ) But the wretched one will avoid it -
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
( 12 ) [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
( 13 ) Neither dying therein nor living.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
( 14 ) He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
( 15 ) And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
( 16 ) But you prefer the worldly life,
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
( 17 ) While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
( 18 ) Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
( 19 ) The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
