Al-A'laa

Sabbihisma Rabbikal A'laa

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

Allazee khalaqa fasawwaa

Who created and proportioned

Wallazeee akhrajal mar'aa

Neither dying therein nor living.

Qad aflaha man tazakkaa

Wa zakaras ma Rabbihee fasallaa

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

Bal tu'siroonal hayaatad dunyaa

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

Inna haazaa lafis suhu fil oolaa

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
