Sorah Al-A'la ( The Most High ) - Verses Number 19

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ( 1 )

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ( 2 )

Who created and proportioned

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ( 3 )

And who destined and [then] guided

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ( 4 )

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ( 5 )

And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ ( 6 )

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

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ( 7 )

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

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 8 )

And We will ease you toward ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 9 )

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ( 10 )

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ( 11 )

But the wretched one will avoid it -

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ( 12 )

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

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ( 13 )

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ( 14 )

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ( 15 )

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ( 16 )

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ( 17 )

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ( 18 )

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ( 19 )

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

Humility in PrayerIbn Rajab al-Hanbali This is a treatise we have written concerning humility (Khushu') and the hearts meekness and breaking (inkisar) before the Lord. The basic meaning of Khushu', is the softness of the heart, its being gentle, still, submissive, broken, and yearning. When the heart is humble, so too is the hearing, seeing, heard, and face; indeed all the limbs and their actions are humbled, even speech. The source of the Khushu, that takes place in the heart is the gnosis of Allah's greatness, magnificence, and perfection.

Women Saudi towards a New EraThere has been much misinformation about the people of Saudi Arabia in Western media; some may be due to Islamophobia, but some come from the difficulty in getting an accurate picture of the Kingdom's diversity from the outside. Saudi woman was no exception. This books demonstrates the achievements been made by Saudi woman despite the difficulties facing them. It highlights the roles being played by educated Saudi women and the government efforts to change negative attitudes towards women. While reflecting the emerging role of Saudi women who have been marginalized by rigid traditions and restricted misinterpretation of Islamic law, the book stresses that the active roles of Saudi woman, at both domestic and international levels, has dispelled long-held stereotypes of these women as being uneducated and dull.
