Surah Al-A'la (The Most High)

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى

87:1 Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

87:2 Who created and [perfectly] fashioned [all],

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

87:3 and Who ordained precisely and inspired accordingly,

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ

87:4 and Who brings forth [green] pasture,

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

87:5 then reduces it to withered chaff.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

87:6 We will have you recite [the Quran, O Prophet,] so you will not forget [any of it],

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

87:7 unless Allah wills otherwise. He surely knows what is open and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

87:8 We will facilitate for you the Way of Ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

87:9 So [always] remind [with the Quran]—[even] if the reminder is beneficial [only to some].

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

87:10 Those in awe [of Allah] will be mindful [of it].

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

87:11 But it will be shunned by the most wretched,

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

87:12 who will burn in the greatest Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

87:13 where they will not [be able to] live or die.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

87:14 Successful indeed are those who purify themselves,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

87:15 remember the Name of their Lord, and pray.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

87:16 But you [deniers only] prefer the life of this world,

وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

87:17 even though the Hereafter is far better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

87:18 This is certainly [mentioned] in the earlier Scriptures—

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

87:19 the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
