About Surah Al-A'la
Al-A'la, the Most High, calls for glorifying the name of the Lord who created and proportioned all things, then guided them. It promises that the Prophet (peace be upon him) will be helped to remember and convey the message, and reminds the reader that the one who purifies himself and remembers his Lord will succeed, while the worldly forget what lasts.
