This is a beautiful recitation of Surah Al Ala (The Most High) which is the 87th chapter of the Holy Quran,. It is a chapter (surah) revealed in Mecca and it contains 19 verses. Alhamdulilah, all praises be to God.

Recitation by Sheikh Ahmad Al Ajmy
Translation by Sahih International

Summary: Surah Al Ala was said to be one the favorite surahs of Muhammad. This surah includes the basic Islamic concept of life and existence, the unity of Allah (God), reality of divine revelation and mentions the reward and punishment in the Hereafter. Humans often hide things from each other and from themselves as well. The surah reminds us that Allah (God) knows things that are declared and things that lie hidden. The final verse of this surah affirms that the message of this surah was also revealed to Abraham and Moses in their scriptures.

English translation (Sahih International): (1) Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High, (2) Who created and proportioned (3) And who destined and [then] guided (4) And who brings out the pasture (5) And [then] makes it black stubble. (6) We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget, (7) Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden. (8) And We will ease you toward ease (9) So remind, if the reminder should benefit; (10) He who fears [Allah] will be reminded. (11) But the wretched one will avoid it (12) [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire, (13) Neither dying therein nor living. (14) He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself (15) And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. (16) But you prefer the worldly life, (17) While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. (18) Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, (19) The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
