بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
87:1
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
87:2
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and fashioned in due proportion,
87:3
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
and Who determined [the creation] then inspired them,
87:4
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
and Who brings forth the pasture,
87:5
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
then makes it into withered chaff.
87:6
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
We will teach you [the Qur’an], so you will not forget,
87:7
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
except what Allah wills¹, for indeed He knows what is manifest and what is hidden.
87:8
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We will guide you to the easy way².
87:9
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit³.
87:10
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears Allah will take heed,
87:11
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
but the wretched will avoid it,
87:12
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
who will enter the Great Fire,
87:13
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
wherein he will neither die nor live.
87:14
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Indeed, he who purifies himself will attain success,
87:15
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
and remembers his Lord’s Name and prays.
87:16
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the life of this world,
87:17
وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
even though the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
87:18
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this was in the earlier Scriptures,
87:19
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
