Chapter 87, 19 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and proportioned
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And who destined and [then] guided
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
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,
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.
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We will ease you toward ease.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
But the wretched one will avoid it -
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Neither dying therein nor living.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the worldly life,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
