87. Al-A'la - The Most High
| 1 | Magnify the Name of thy Lord the Most High |
| 2 | who created and shaped, |
| 3 | who determined and guided, |
| 4 | who brought forth the pasturage |
| 5 | then made it a blackening wrack. |
| 6 | We shall make thee recite, to forget not |
| 7 | save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden. |
| 8 | We shall ease thee unto the Easing. |
| 9 | Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, |
| 10 | and he who fears shall remember, |
| 11 | but the most wretched shall flout it, |
| 12 | even he who shall roast in the Great Fire, |
| 13 | then he shall neither die therein, nor live. |
| 14 | Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself, |
| 15 | and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. |
| 16 | Nay, but you prefer the present life; |
| 17 | and the world to come is better, and more enduring. |
| 18 | Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, |
| 19 | the scrolls of Abraham and Moses. |
