Surah The Most High [Al-Ala] Ayah 19 Location Maccah Number 87

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى ﴿١﴾

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

Who has created, and then proportioned it.

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٣﴾

And Who has measured; and then guided.

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ ﴿٤﴾

And Who brings out the pasturage,

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

And then makes it dark stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾

We shall make you recite, so you shall not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

Except what Allah may will He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

And We shall make easy for you the easy.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Therefore remind in case the reminder profits.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

The reminder will be received by him who fears,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١١﴾

But it will be avoided by the wretched,

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Who will enter the great Fire.

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

There he will neither die nor live.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Indeed whosoever purifies himself shall achieve success.

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ﴿١٥﴾

And remembers the Name of his Lord, and performs Salah.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿١٦﴾

Rather you prefer the life of this world.

وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ﴿١٧﴾

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Verily, this is in the former Scriptures

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

The Scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
