Surah The Most High [Al-Ala] in English
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى ﴿١﴾
Hallow thou the name of thine Lord, the Most High,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾
Who hath created and then proportioned,
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٣﴾
And Who hath disposed and then guided,
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ ﴿٤﴾
And Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾
Then maketh it to stubble dusky.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾
We shall enable thee to recite, and then thou shalt not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ﴿٧﴾
Save that which Allah may will. Verily He knoweth the public and that which is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٨﴾
And We shall make easy Unto thee the easy way.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
Wherefore admonish thou; admonition hath surely profited,
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾
Admonished is he indeed who feareth,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١١﴾
And the wretched shunneth it-.
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾
He Who shall roast into the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾
Wherein he shall neither die nor live,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾
He indeed hath attained bliss who hath cleansed himself,
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ﴿١٥﴾
And who remembereth the name of his Lord, and then prayeth.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿١٦﴾
But ye prefer the life of this world,
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ﴿١٧﴾
Whereas the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
Verily this is in Writs ancient
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾
Writs of Ibrahim and Musa.
