About Surah Al-A'la
Al-A'la, “The Most High”, opens with the command: “Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,” who created and proportioned, who decreed and guided. It promises the Prophet ﷺ that he will not forget the Quran, and that the path will be made easy for him.
The Prophet ﷺ loved this surah and recited it often, including in the Witr prayer and with Al-Ghashiyah in the Friday and Eid prayers.
