Surah “The Most High, Glory to your Lord in the Highest”

as rendered by Syed Vickar Ahamed — 19 verses

Praise (and Glorify) the Name of your Lord, the Most High (Rab-Al-A'la)
Who has created, and given form and proper size
Who has prescribed laws (to live by) and given you guidance (in His Books)
And Who grows the (green and rich) pasture
And then makes it dry and stalky (with grain)
By small amounts We shall teach you (O Prophet!) To declare (the Message), so that you shall not forget
Except as Allah wills for He knows what is openly known and what is hidden
And We will make it easy for you (to follow) the simple (Path)
Therefore give guidance in case the guidance will profit (the listener)
The guidance will be received by those who fear (Allah)
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones
Who will enter the great Fire
In which they will neither die nor live
But those will prosper, who purify themselves
And praise the Name of their Guardian-Lord and (purify their hearts) in prayer
But no! You prefer the life of this world
But the Hereafter is better and (it) lasts longer
And this is in the pages (of Books) of the very early (Revelations)—
The pages (of Books) of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses)
