Al-A'la


(87:1) Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,1

(87:2) Who created all things and fashioned them in good proportion;2

(87:3) Who determined3 and guided them,4

(87:4) Who brought forth the pasture,5

(87:5) and then made it into a blackish straw.6

(87:6) We shall make you recite and then you will not forget,7

(87:7) except what Allah should wish.8 He knows all that is manifest
and all that is hidden.9

(87:8) We shall ease you to follow the way of Ease.

(87:9) So render good counsel if good counsel will avail.0

(87:10) He who fears (Allah) shall heed it,1

(87:11) but the wretched will turn away from it.

(87:12) He will be cast into the Great Fire.

(87:13) Then he will neither die in it, nor live.2

(87:14) He who purified himself shall prosper,3

(87:15) remembering his Lord's name4 and praying.5

(87:16) No; but you prefer the present life,6

(87:17) whereas the Hereafter is better and more enduring.7

(87:18) This, indeed, was in the ancient Scrolls,

(87:19) the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses.8
