Chapter 87, 19 verses
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who creates, then makes complete,
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And Who brings forth herbage,
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears will mind,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Who shall enter the great fire;
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
