Al-A'la

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى ١

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢

Who created and proportioned

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣

And who destined and [then] guided

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ٤

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ ٥

And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ٦

We will make you recite, [O Muḥammad], and you will not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ ٧

Except what Allāh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٨

And We will ease you toward ease.1

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ٩

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;1

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ ١٠

He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١١

But the wretched one will avoid it –

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ١٢

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
