بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى

Magnify the Name of thy Lord the Most High

ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

who created and shaped,

وَٱلَّذِی قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

who determined and guided,

وَٱلَّذِیۤ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ

who brought forth the pasturage

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَاۤءً أَحۡوَىٰ

then made it a blackening wrack.

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰۤ

We shall make thee recite, to forget not

إِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ یَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا یَخۡفَىٰ

save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden.

وَنُیَسِّرُكَ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ

We shall ease thee unto the Easing.

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ

Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits,

سَیَذَّكَّرُ مَن یَخۡشَىٰ

and he who fears shall remember,

وَیَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

but the most wretched shall flout it,

ٱلَّذِی یَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

even he who shall roast in the Great Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا یَمُوتُ فِیهَا وَلَا یَحۡیَىٰ

then he shall neither die therein, nor live.

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays.

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا

Nay, but you prefer the present life;

وَٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةُ خَیۡرࣱ وَأَبۡقَىٰۤ

and the world to come is better, and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِی ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

Surely this is in the ancient scrolls,

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَ ٰ⁠هِیمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

the scrolls of Abraham and Moses.
