بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

  1. 87:1

    سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى

    Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

  2. 87:2

    ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

    Who created and proportioned

  3. 87:3

    وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

    And who destined and [then] guided

  4. 87:4

    وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ

    And who brings out the pasture

  5. 87:5

    فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

    And [then] makes it black stubble.

  6. 87:6

    سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

    We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

  7. 87:7

    إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

    Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

  8. 87:8

    وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

    And We will ease you toward ease.

  9. 87:9

    فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

    So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

  10. 87:10

    سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

    He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

  11. 87:11

    وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

    But the wretched one will avoid it -

  12. 87:12

    ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

    [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

  13. 87:13

    ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

    Neither dying therein nor living.

  14. 87:14

    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

    He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

  15. 87:15

    وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

    And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

  16. 87:16

    بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

    But you prefer the worldly life,

  17. 87:17

    وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

    While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

  18. 87:18

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

    Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

    صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

    The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
