1 Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla

1 Glorify the name of thy Guardian - Lord Most High,

2 Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

2 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

3 Waallathee qaddara fahada

3 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

4 Waallathee akhraja almarAAa

4 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

5 FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

5 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

6 Sanuqrioka fala tansa

6 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

7 Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

7 Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

8 Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

8 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

9 Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra

9 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

10 Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

10 The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):

11 Wayatajannabuha alashqa

11 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

12 Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra

12 Who will enter the Great Fire,

13 Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya

13 In which they will then neither die nor live.

14 Qad aflaha man tazakka

14 But those will prosper who purify themselves,

15 Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

15 And glorify the name of their Guardian - Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

16 Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya

16 Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

17 Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa

17 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

18 Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola

18 And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation), -

19 Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa

19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.
