Surah Al-Ala in the Qaloun Recitation

سَبِّحِ اِ۪سْمَ رَبِّكَ اَ۬لْأَعْلَى﴿1﴾

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

اَ۬لذِے خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ﴿2﴾

Who created and proportioned

وَالذِے قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ﴿3﴾

And who destined and [then] guided

وَالذِے أَخْرَجَ اَ۬لْمَرْعَىٰ﴿4﴾

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰۖ﴿5﴾

And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ﴿6﴾

We will make you recite, [O Muḥammad], and you will not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اَ۬للَّهُۖ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ اُ۬لْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰۖ﴿7﴾

Except what Allāh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰۖ﴿8﴾

And We will ease you toward ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ اِ۬لذِّكْرَىٰۖ﴿9﴾

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَّخْشَىٰ﴿10﴾

He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا اَ۬لْأَشْقَى﴿11﴾

But the wretched one will avoid it

اَ۬لذِے يَصْلَى اَ۬لنَّارَ اَ۬لْكُبْرَىٰ﴿12﴾

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰۖ﴿13﴾

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ﴿14﴾

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ اَ۪سْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰۖ﴿15﴾

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ اَ۬لْحَيَوٰةَ اَ۬لدُّنْيَا﴿16﴾

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَالْأٓخِرَةُ خَيْرٞ وَأَبْقَىٰۖ﴿17﴾

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِے اِ۬لصُّحُفِ اِ۬لْأُولَىٰ﴿18﴾

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰۖ﴿19﴾

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
