Surah Al A'la commentary by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri focuses on humanity's responsibility towards nature and its delicate balance as well as our inner intricate balance. The worst affliction one can experience is not being connected with the Source of Life in the moment, the nature of the soul or the ruh is eternal. Associating with one's body, which is not eternal, and its emotions, which are subject to changes in emotions and values, is what causes much anxiety, depression, fears and worries. Clearing one's heart, one's mind and one's body is a good practice to leave the conditioned state of consciousness in preparation for the next stage. It is only a few thousand years that the message of scriptures have been shared, compared to billions of years of evolution, so we need to put our impact on nature and things into perspective, after the balance has been set. We need to be in more wonderment and awe of our natural surroundings, of the breath in our bodies and its flow in and out, instead of our gross obsession with wealth and acquiring more and more.
The most helpful thing to do for our future, is to be present in the now, the moment.
Translation by Shakir below:
1. Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
2. Who creates, then makes complete,
3. And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
4. And Who brings forth herbage,
5. Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.
6. We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
7. Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
8. And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
9. Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
10. He who fears will mind,
11. And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
12. Who shall enter the great fire;
13. Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
14. He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,
15. And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
16. Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
17. While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
18. Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
19. The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
