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