Surah 87
Surah Al-A'la: The Most High
Revealed at Makkah
With the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Rewarding
87:1
GLORIFY the name of your Rabb, the most High,
87:2
Who creates, then He perfects;
87:3
and Who measures, and guides;
87:4
and Who brings forth herbage,
87:5
then renders it dried up, gray-colored.
87:6
We shall soon make you recite, so you will not forget—
87:7
except whatever Allah please. He indeed knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
87:8
And We shall ease for you with easing.
87:9
Therefore go on reminding; surely the Reminder brings benefit.
87:10
He will soon mind who fears,
87:11
but the evil-minded will avoid it,
87:12
who will undergo roasting in the great Fire.
87:13
And then he will not die in it, nor will he live.
87:14
He indeed succeeds who purifies himself,
87:15
and remembers the name of his Rabb, and performs Salat.
87:16
In fact, you prefer the life of this world,
87:17
while the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
87:18
Surely this is in the earlier Scrolls—
87:19
the Scrolls of Ibrahim and Musa.
