Chapter 87, 19 verses
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and proportioned
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Waallathee qaddara fahada
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And who destined and [then] guided
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
Waallathee akhraja almarAAa
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
And [then] makes it black stubble.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ 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 ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
But the wretched one will avoid it -
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
[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 ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the worldly life,
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
