سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى (1)
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High |
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ (2)
Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it |
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ (3)
And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture) |
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ (4)
And Who brings out the pasturage |
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ (5)
And then makes it dark stubble |
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ (6)
We shall make you to recite (the Quran), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it) |
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ (7)
Except what Allah, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden |
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ (8)
And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds) |
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ (9)
Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them) |
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ (10)
The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allah) |
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى (11)
But it will be avoided by the wretched |
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ (12)
Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning |
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ (13)
Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living) |
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ (14)
Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success |
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ (15)
And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers) |
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا (16)
Nay, you prefer the life of this world |
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ (17)
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting |
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ (18)
Verily! This is in the former Scriptures |
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ (19)
The Scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses) |
