Surah Al-Ala (الاٴعلی)

Ayat 1–19

سَبِّحِ اسۡمَ رَبِّكَ الۡاَعۡلَىۙ ۝١

87:1Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,

الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ فَسَوّٰىۙ ۝٢

87:2Who createth, then disposeth;

وَالَّذِىۡ قَدَّرَ فَهَدٰىۙ ۝٣

87:3Who measureth, then guideth;

وَالَّذِىۡۤ اَخۡرَجَ الۡمَرۡعٰىۙ ۝٤

87:4Who bringeth forth the pasturage,

فَجَعَلَهٗ غُثَآءً اَحۡوٰىؕ ۝٥

87:5Then turneth it to russet stubble.

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنۡسٰٓىۙ ۝٦

87:6We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ يَعۡلَمُ الۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفٰىؕ ۝٧

87:7Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرٰى ۖۚ ۝٨

87:8And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.

فَذَكِّرۡ اِنۡ نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكۡرٰىؕ ۝٩

87:9Therefore remind (men), for of use is the reminder.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنۡ يَّخۡشٰىۙ ۝١٠

87:10He will heed who feareth,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الۡاَشۡقَىۙ ۝١١

87:11But the most hapless will flout it,

الَّذِىۡ يَصۡلَى النَّارَ الۡكُبۡرٰىۚ ۝١٢

87:12He who will be flung to the great Fire

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوۡتُ فِيۡهَا وَلَا يَحۡيٰىؕ ۝١٣

87:13Wherein he will neither die nor live.

قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ تَزَكّٰىۙ ۝١٤

87:14He is successful who groweth,

وَذَكَرَ اسۡمَ رَبِّهٖ فَصَلّٰى ؕ ۝١٥

87:15And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُوۡنَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَاۖ ۝١٦

87:16But ye prefer the life of the world

وَالۡاٰخِرَةُ خَيۡرٌ وَّ اَبۡقٰىؕ ۝١٧

87:17Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَفِى الصُّحُفِ الۡاُوۡلٰىۙ ۝١٨

87:18Lo! This is in the former scrolls.

صُحُفِ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَمُوۡسٰى ۝١٩

87:19The Books of Abraham and Moses.
