Chapter 87, 19 verses
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم سبح اسم ربك الأعلى
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
Who created and proportioned
الذي خلق فسوى
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Waallathee qaddara fahada
And who destined and [then] guided
والذي قدر فهدى
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
And who brings out the pasture
والذي أخرج المرعى
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
And [then] makes it black stubble.
فجعله غثاء أحوى
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
سنقرئك فلا تنسى
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
إلا ما شاء الله ۚ إنه يعلم الجهر وما يخفى
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
And We will ease you toward ease.
ونيسرك لليسرى
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
فذكر إن نفعت الذكرى
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
سيذكر من يخشى
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
But the wretched one will avoid it -
ويتجنبها الأشقى
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
الذي يصلى النار الكبرى
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
Neither dying therein nor living.
ثم لا يموت فيها ولا يحيى
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Qad aflaha man tazakka
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
قد أفلح من تزكى
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
وذكر اسم ربه فصلى
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
But you prefer the worldly life,
بل تؤثرون الحياة الدنيا
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
والآخرة خير وأبقى
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
إن هذا لفي الصحف الأولى
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
صحف إبراهيم وموسى
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
