আল আ’লা (সর্ব মহান)

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

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

2 Who creates, then makes complete,

2 Who created and proportioned

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

3 And who destined and [then] guided

4 And Who brings forth herbage,

4 And who brings out the pasture

5 Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.

5 And [then] makes it black stubble.

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

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

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

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

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

8 And We will ease you toward ease.

9 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.

9 So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

10 He who fears will mind,

10 He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

11 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

11 But the wretched one will avoid it -

12 Who shall enter the great fire;

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

13 Then therein he shall neither live nor die.

13 Neither dying therein nor living.

14 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,

14 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

15 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

15 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

16 Nay! you prefer the life of this world,

16 But you prefer the worldly life,

17 While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

17 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

18 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

18 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

19 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.

19 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
