بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
(Muhammad), glorify the Name of your lord, the Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who has created (all things) proportionately,
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
decreed their destinies, and provided them with guidance.
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
It is He who has caused the grass to grow,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
then caused it to wither away.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
We shall teach you (the Quran) and you will not forget it
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
unless God wills it to be otherwise. He knows all that is made public and all that remains hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We shall make all your tasks easy.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Therefore, keep on preaching as long as it is of benefit.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
Those who have fear of God will benefit
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
but the reprobates will turn away
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
and suffer the heat of the great fire
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
wherein they will neither live nor die.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
Lasting happiness will be for those who purify themselves,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
remember the name of the Lord, and pray to Him.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
However, (the disbelievers) prefer the worldly life
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
even though the life hereafter will be better and will last forever.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
This is what is written in the ancient heavenly Books,
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
the Scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
