Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who creates, then makes complete,
Waallathee qaddara fahada
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
And Who brings forth herbage,
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.

He who fears will mind,
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Who shall enter the great fire;
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
Qad aflaha man tazakka
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
