The text of Surah Al-Ala in Arabic:
- سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى
- الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
- وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى
- وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَى
- فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَى
- سَنُقْرِؤُكَ فَلا تَنسَى
- إِلاَّ مَا شَاء اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَى
- وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَى
- فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَى
- سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَى
- وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الأَشْقَى
- الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَى
- ثُمَّ لا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلا يَحْيَى
- قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّى
- وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى
- بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
- وَالآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى
- إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الأُولَى
- صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى
Translation of Surah Al-Ala in English:
Glory be to the Most High, Who created and proportioned, Who determined and guided, Who brings out the pasture and makes it a stubble. We will recite to you, so you shall not forget, except what Allah wills. He knows what is declared and what is hidden. We will make it easy for you to the easy way. So remember, if remembrance should benefit. He who fears will be reminded. But the wretched one will turn away from it. He who will enter the great Fire, then he will not die in it nor live. Successful is he who purifies himself, and remembers the Name of his Lord, then prays. Nay, you prefer the life of this world, while the Hereafter is better and more lasting. Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, the scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
