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

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى ﴿١﴾

Proclaim the Purity of your Lord, the Supreme.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

The One Who created, and then made proper.

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ﴿٣﴾

And the One Who kept proper measure and then guided.

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ ﴿٤﴾

The One Who produced pasture.

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Then made it dry and dark.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾

We shall now make you read (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), so you will not forget.

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

Except what Allah wills; indeed He knows all the evident and all the concealed.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

And We shall create the means of ease for you.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Therefore advise, if advising is beneficial.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

Soon whoever fears will heed advice.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١١﴾

And the most wicked will stay away from it.

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

The one who will enter the biggest fire.

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

Then he neither dies in it, nor lives.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Indeed successful is the one who became pure.

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ﴿١٥﴾

And who mentioned the name of his Lord, then offered prayer.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿١٦﴾

But rather you prefer the life of this world!

وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ﴿١٧﴾

Whereas the Hereafter is better and everlasting.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Indeed this is in the former scriptures.

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

In the Books of Ibrahim and Moosa.
