87. Surah Al-A'la, English Translation

Who created and ˹perfectly˺ fashioned ˹all˺,

and Who ordained precisely and inspired accordingly,

and Who brings forth ˹green˺ pasture,

then reduces it to withered chaff.

We will have you recite ˹the Quran, O  Prophet,˺ so you will not forget ˹any of it˺,

unless Allah wills otherwise.¹ He surely knows what is open and what is hidden.

We will facilitate for you the Way of Ease.¹

So ˹always˺ remind ˹with the Quran˺—˹even˺ if the reminder is beneficial ˹only to some˺.

Those in awe ˹of Allah˺ will be mindful ˹of it˺.

But it will be shunned by the most wretched,

who will burn in the greatest Fire,

where they will not ˹be able to˺ live or die.

Successful indeed are those who purify themselves,

remember the Name of their Lord, and pray.

But you ˹deniers only˺ prefer the life of this world,

even though the Hereafter is far better and more lasting.

This is certainly ˹mentioned˺ in the earlier Scriptures—

the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
