Chapter 87, 19 verses
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
Who creates, then makes complete,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Waallathee qaddara fahada
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
And Who brings forth herbage,
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
He who fears will mind,
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
Who shall enter the great fire;
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Qad aflaha man tazakka
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
