The Most High, Glory to your Lord in the Highest — Aisha Bewley Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Most High

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High:

Sabbihi isma rabbika al-aAAla

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

He who created and moulded;

Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

He who determined and guided;

Waallathee qaddara fahada

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ

He who brings forth green pasture,

Waallathee akhraja almarAAa

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ

then makes it blackened stubble.

FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ

We will cause you to recite so that you do not forget —

Sanuqri-oka fala tansa

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

except what Allah wills. He knows what is voiced out loud and what is hidden.

Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

We will ease you to the Easy Way.

Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Remind, then, if the reminder benefits.

Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

He who has fear will be reminded;

Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى

but the most miserable will shun it,

Wayatajannabuha al-ashqa

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

those who will roast in the Greatest Fire

Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

and then neither die nor live in it.

Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

He who has purified himself will have success,

Qad aflaha man tazakka

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ

He who invokes the Name of his Lord and prays.

Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

Yet still you prefer the life of the dunya

Bal tu/thiroona alhayata alddunya

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

when the akhira is better and longer lasting.

Waal-akhiratu khayrun waabqa

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ

This is certainly in the earlier texts,

Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi al-oola

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

the texts of Ibrahim and Musa.

Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
