Surah 87 Al-Ala [The Most High]

87 Al-Ala

1 Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
2 Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
3 Waallathee qaddara fahada
4 Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
5 FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
6 Sanuqrioka fala tansa
7 Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
8 Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
9 Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
10 Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
11 Wayatajannabuha alashqa
12 Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
13 Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
14 Qad aflaha man tazakka
15 Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
16 Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
17 Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
18 Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
19 Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa



The Most High

1 Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,
2 Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it.
3 And Who has measured (preordainments for everything even to be blessed or wretched); and then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as the wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture).
4 And Who brings out the pasturage,
5 And then makes it dark stubble.
6 We shall make you to recite (the Qur'an), so you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) shall not forget (it),
7 Except what Allah may will. He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.
8 And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds).
9 Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them).
10 The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah),
11 But it will be avoided by the wretched,
12 Who will enter the great Fire (and will be made to taste its burning).
13 There he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).
14 Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,
15 And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil - additional prayers).
16 Nay, you prefer the life of this world,
17 Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
18 Verily, this is in the former Scriptures -
19 The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses) (عليهما السلام).
