بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Exalt the Name of your Lord, the Highest,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
who has created and shaped,
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
who has ordained and guided,
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
who brings forth the pastures,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
then made it dry dark, flaky stubble,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
We shall make you recite so that you will not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
except what Allah wills, surely, He knows all that is (spoken) aloud and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We shall ease you to the easy.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Therefore remind, if the Reminder benefits,
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
and he who fears shall remember,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
but the most wretched shall avoid it,
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
who will roast in the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
in which he will neither die nor live therein.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
Prosperous is he who purifies himself,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
and remembers the Name of his Lord, so he prays.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the present life,
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
but the Everlasting Life is better, and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Surely, this is in the ancient Scrolls,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
the Scrolls of Abraham and Moses.
