আল আ’লা (সর্ব মহান)

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

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

1 Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla

2 Who created and proportioned

2 Who creates, then makes complete,

2 Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

3 And who destined and [then] guided

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

3 Waallathee qaddara fahada

4 And who brings out the pasture

4 And Who brings forth herbage,

4 Waallathee akhraja almarAAa

5 And [then] makes it black stubble.

5 Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.

5 FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

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

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

6 Sanuqrioka fala tansa

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.

7 Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

8 And We will ease you toward ease.

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

8 Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

9 So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

9 Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.

9 Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra

10 He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

10 He who fears will mind,

10 Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

11 But the wretched one will avoid it -

11 And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,

11 Wayatajannabuha alashqa

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

12 Who shall enter the great fire;

12 Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra

13 Neither dying therein nor living.

13 Then therein he shall neither live nor die.

13 Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya

14 He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

14 He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,

14 Qad aflaha man tazakka

15 And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

15 And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.

15 Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

16 But you prefer the worldly life,

16 Nay! you prefer the life of this world,

16 Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya

17 While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

17 While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

17 Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa

18 Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

18 Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

18 Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola

19 The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

19 The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.

19 Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
