আল আ’লা (মহান)

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

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

2 Who created and proportioned

2 Who creates, then makes complete,

3 And who destined and [then] guided

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

4 And who brings out the pasture

4 And Who brings forth herbage,

5 And [then] makes it black stubble.

5 Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.

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

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

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

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

8 And We will ease you toward ease.

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

9 So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

9 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.

10 He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

10 He who fears will mind,

11 But the wretched one will avoid it -

11 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

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

12 Who shall enter the great fire;

13 Neither dying therein nor living.

13 Then therein he shall neither live nor die.

14 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

14 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,

15 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

15 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

16 But you prefer the worldly life,

16 Nay! you prefer the life of this world,

17 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

17 While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

18 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

18 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

19 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

19 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
