Sorah Al-A'la ( The Most High ) - Verses Number 19
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
( 1 )
Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
( 2 )
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
( 3 )
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
( 4 )
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
( 5 )
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
( 6 )
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
( 7 )
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
( 8 )
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
( 9 )
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
( 10 )
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
( 11 )
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
( 12 )
Who will enter the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
( 13 )
In which they will then neither die nor live.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
( 14 )
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
( 15 )
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
( 16 )
Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
( 17 )
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
( 18 )
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
( 19 )
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
