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