The Most High19 ayahsMeccan

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى﴿١

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

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ﴿٢

2Who created and proportioned

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ﴿٣

3And who destined and [then] guided

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ﴿٤

4And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ﴿٥

5And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ﴿٦

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

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ﴿٧

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

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ﴿٨

8And We will ease you toward ease.[1907]

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ﴿٩

9So remind, if the reminder should benefit;[1908]

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ﴿١٠

10He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى﴿١١

11But the wretched one will avoid it –

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ﴿١٢

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

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ﴿١٣

13Neither dying therein nor living.

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ﴿١٤

14He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ﴿١٥

15And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا﴿١٦

16But you prefer the worldly life,

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ﴿١٧

17While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ﴿١٨

18Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ﴿١٩

19The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
