Chapter 87, 19 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
Who createth, then disposeth;
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
Who measureth, then guideth;
Waallathee qaddara fahada
Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
Then turneth it to russet stubble.
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
He will heed who feareth,
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
But the most hapless will flout it,
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
He who will be flung to the great Fire
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
Wherein he will neither die nor live.
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
He is who groweth,
Qad aflaha man tazakka
And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
But ye prefer the life of the world
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
Lo! This is in the former scrolls.
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
