Sura El-E’alā – Svevišnji
Surah Al-E’alā: The Most High

Summary/Abstract: Surah Al-A’alā is the 87th surah in the Qur’an. It is named Al-A’la ( عْ ََْ ال ) because its first ayah prescribes glorification (tasbīh) of the Most High. Likewise, it is also named surah Sebbih after the word it begins with. It was revealed in Mecca as one of the earliest surahs revealed, what we can assert from the context of its sixth ayah which suggests that Muhammad s.w.s., was still not entirely habitual to receiving the Revelation. It is one of the seven surahs of the Qur’an that are commonly referred to as Al-Musebbihāt, surahs that begin with tasbīh. Generally speaking, we can find three main topics concisely addressed in this surah: 1. Tawhīd 2. Revelation and 3. Akhirah. Muhammad s.w.s., as it was recorded in the Hadith quoted from hazrat A’li r.a., was particularly fond of this surah and used to recite it, along with surah Al-Ghashiya in ‘Eid salah and in salati Juma.
