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

as rendered by Ali Quli Qara'i — 19 verses

Celebrate the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted
who created and proportioned
who determined and guided
who brought forth the pasture
then turned it into a black scum
We shall have you recite [the Qur’an], then you will not forget [any of it]
except what Allah may wish. Indeed He knows the overt and what is hidden
We shall smooth your way to [preach] the easiest [canon]
So admonish, for admonition is indeed beneficial
he who fears will take admonition
and the most wretched will shun i
—he who will enter the Great Fire
then neither live in it, nor die
Felicitous is he who purifies himself
celebrates the Name of his Lord, and prays
Rather you prefer the life of this world
while the Hereafter is better and more lasting
This is indeed in the former scriptures
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses
