بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
١ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
1 Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,
٢ الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
2 Who createth, then disposeth;
٣ وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
3 Who measureth, then guideth;
٤ وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
4 Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
٥ فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
5 Then turneth it to russet stubble.
٦ سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
6 We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget
٧ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
7 Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;
٨ وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
8 And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.
٩ فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
9 Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.
١٠ سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
10 He will heed who feareth,
١١ وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
11 But the most hapless will flout it,
١٢ الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
12 He who will be flung to the great Fire
١٣ ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
13 Wherein he will neither die nor live.
١٤ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
14 He is successful who groweth,
١٥ وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
15 And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,
١٦ بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
16 But ye prefer the life of the world
١٧ وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
17 Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
١٨ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
18 Lo! This is in the former scrolls.
١٩ صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.
