Surat Al-'A`lá (The Most High) - سورة الأعلى

: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,

: Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it;

: And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture);

: And Who brings out the pasturage,

: And then makes it dark stubble.

: We shall make you to recite (the Quran), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it),

: Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.

: And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds).

: Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them).

: The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah),

: But it will be avoided by the wretched,

: Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning,

: Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).

: Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,

: And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers).

: Nay, you prefer the life of this world;

: Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.

: Verily! This is in the former Scriptures,

: The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses).
