Al A'la

Shakir

1 Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,

Shakir

2 Who creates, then makes complete,

Shakir

3 And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),

Shakir

4 And Who brings forth herbage,

Shakir

5 Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.

Shakir

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

Shakir

7 Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.

Shakir

8 And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.

Shakir

9 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.

Shakir

10 He who fears will mind,

Shakir

11 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

Shakir

12 Who shall enter the great fire;

Shakir

13 Then therein he shall neither live nor die.

Shakir

14 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,

Shakir

15 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

Shakir

16 Nay! you prefer the life of this world,

Shakir

17 While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

Shakir

18 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

Shakir

19 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
