الأعـلى

1 Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla

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

2 Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

2 Who created and proportioned

3 Waallathee qaddara fahada

3 And who destined and [then] guided

4 Waallathee akhraja almarAAa

4 And who brings out the pasture

5 FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

5 And [then] makes it black stubble.

6 Sanuqrioka fala tansa

6 We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

7 Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

7 Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

8 Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

8 And We will ease you toward ease.

9 Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra

9 So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

10 Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

10 He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

11 Wayatajannabuha alashqa

11 But the wretched one will avoid it -

12 Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra

12 [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

13 Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya

13 Neither dying therein nor living.

14 Qad aflaha man tazakka

14 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

15 Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

15 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

16 Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya

16 But you prefer the worldly life,

17 Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa

17 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

18 Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola

18 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

19 Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa

19 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
