Chapter 87, 19 verses
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Glorify the name of thy Guardian - Lord Most High,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Who will enter the Great Fire,
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
In which they will then neither die nor live.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
And glorify the name of their Guardian - Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation), -
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
