Surah al-A`la (The Most High, Glory to your Lord in the Highest) - Thomas Cleary Translation

Ads have been removed.

87:1 Extol the name of your Lord, the Highest,

87:2 who has created and given proportion,

87:3 who has directed and guided,

87:4 who has brought forth pasture

87:5 and turned it into brown straw.

87:6 We will make you recite so you will not forget

87:7 except what God wills. For God knows the apparent and the concealed.

87:8 And We ease you into what is most easy:

87:9 so remind, if reminder avails.

87:10 The God-fearing will be reminded,

87:11 but the most wretched will tum aside,

87:12 those who enter the greatest fire,

87:13 where they neither die nor live.

87:14 Happy are those who have purified themselves

87:15 and remember the name of their Lord and pray.

87:16 But you prefer the life of the world,

87:17 though the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

87:18 This is, in fact, in the books of the ancients,

87:19 the books of Abraham and Moses.
