Surah Al-A'la (The Most High) - Aya count 19
سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى ﴿١﴾
Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
وَٱلَّذِی قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٣﴾
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
وَٱلَّذِیۤ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ﴿٤﴾
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَاۤءً أَحۡوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰۤ ﴿٦﴾
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ یَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا یَخۡفَىٰ ﴿٧﴾
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
وَنُیَسِّرُكَ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ ﴿٨﴾
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
سَیَذَّكَّرُ مَن یَخۡشَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
وَیَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ﴿١١﴾
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
ٱلَّذِی یَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾
Who will enter the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا یَمُوتُ فِیهَا وَلَا یَحۡیَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾
In which they will then neither die nor live.
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ﴿١٥﴾
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا ﴿١٦﴾
Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
وَٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةُ خَیۡرࣱ وَأَبۡقَىٰۤ ﴿١٧﴾
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِی ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
صُحُفِ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
