Chapter 87, 19 verses
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Who creates, then makes complete,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And Who brings forth herbage,
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
He who fears will mind,
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
Who shall enter the great fire;
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
