Chapter 87, 19 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and proportioned
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Waallathee qaddara fahada
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And who destined and [then] guided
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
And [then] makes it black stubble.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We will ease you toward ease.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
But the wretched one will avoid it -
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Neither dying therein nor living.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Qad aflaha man tazakka
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the worldly life,
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
