بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Proclaim the Purity of your Lord, the Supreme.
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
The One Who created, and then made proper.
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And the One Who kept proper measure and then guided.
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
The One Who produced pasture.
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
Then made it dry and dark.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
We shall now make you read (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), so you will not forget.
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except what Allah wills; indeed He knows all the evident and all the concealed.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We shall create the means of ease for you.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Therefore advise, if advising is beneficial.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
Soon whoever fears will heed advice.
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
And the most wicked will stay away from it.
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
The one who will enter the biggest fire.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Then he neither dies in it, nor lives.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
Indeed successful is the one who became pure.
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
And who mentioned the name of his Lord, then offered prayer.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But rather you prefer the life of this world!
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
Whereas the Hereafter is better and everlasting.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Indeed this is in the former scriptures.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
In the Books of Ibrahim and Moosa.
