وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
And [then] makes it black stubble.

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

And We will ease you toward ease.

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
But the wretched one will avoid it -
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Neither dying therein nor living.
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
Qad aflaha man tazakka
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the worldly life,
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
