Chapter 87, 19 verses
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Who created and proportioned
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
And who destined and [then] guided
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And [then] makes it black stubble.
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
And We will ease you toward ease.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
But the wretched one will avoid it -
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Neither dying therein nor living.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
But you prefer the worldly life,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
