سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
[87-1]
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
[87-2]
Who creates, then makes complete,
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
[87-3]
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
[87-4]
And Who brings forth herbage,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
[87-5]
Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
[87-6]
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
[87-7]
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
[87-8]
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
[87-9]
Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
[87-10]
He who fears will mind,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
[87-11]
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
[87-12]
Who shall enter the great fire;
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
[87-13]
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
[87-14]
He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
[87-15]
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
[87-16]
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
[87-17]
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
إِنَّ هٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
[87-18]
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
[87-19]
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
