سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
The Most High · al-A'la · سورة الأعلى · 19 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and fashioned in due proportion,
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
and Who determined [the creation] then inspired them,
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
and Who brings forth the pasture,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
then makes it into withered chaff.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
We will teach you [the Qur’an], so you will not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
except what Allah wills, for indeed He knows what is manifest and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We will guide you to the easy way.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears Allah will take heed,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
but the wretched will avoid it,
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
who will enter the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
wherein he will neither die nor live.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
Indeed, he who purifies himself will attain success,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
and remembers his Lord’s Name and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the life of this world,
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
even though the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this was in the earlier Scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
