| The Highest -Al-'A'la | |||
| In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 87. 1 ] Exalt the Name of your Lord, the Highest, | ||
| 2 | [ 87. 2 ] who has created and shaped, | ||
| 3 | [ 87. 3 ] who has ordained and guided, | ||
| 4 | [ 87. 4 ] who brings forth the pastures, | ||
| 5 | [ 87. 5 ] then made it dry dark, flaky stubble, | ||
| 6 | [ 87. 6 ] We shall make you recite so that you will not forget, | ||
| 7 | [ 87. 7 ] except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is ( spoken ) aloud and what is hidden. | ||
| 8 | [ 87. 8 ] We shall ease you to the easy. | ||
| 9 | [ 87. 9 ] Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits, | ||
| 10 | [ 87. 10 ] and he who fears shall remember, | ||
| 11 | [ 87. 11 ] but the most wretched shall avoid it, | ||
| 12 | [ 87. 12 ] who will roast in the Great Fire, | ||
| 13 | [ 87. 13 ] in which he will neither die nor live therein. | ||
| 14 | [ 87. 14 ] Prosperous is he who purifies himself, | ||
| 15 | [ 87. 15 ] and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays. | ||
| 16 | [ 87. 16 ] But you prefer the present life, | ||
| 17 | [ 87. 17 ] but the Everlasting Life is better, and more enduring. | ||
| 18 | [ 87. 18 ] Surely, this is in the ancient Scrolls, | ||
| 19 | [ 87. 19 ] the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses. | ||
