Sorah Al-A'la ( The Most High ) - Verses Number 19

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ( 1 )

Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ( 2 )

Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ( 3 )

Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ( 4 )

And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ( 5 )

And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ ( 6 )

By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ( 7 )

Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 8 )

And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 9 )

Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ( 10 )

The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ( 11 )

But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ( 12 )

Who will enter the Great Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ( 13 )

In which they will then neither die nor live.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ( 14 )

But those will prosper who purify themselves,

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ( 15 )

And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ( 16 )

Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ( 17 )

But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ( 18 )

And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ( 19 )

The Books of Abraham and Moses.
