87:1Page 591

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى ١

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

87:2Page 591

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢

Who created and proportioned

87:3Page 591

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣

And who destined and [then] guided

87:4Page 591

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ٤

And who brings out the pasture

87:5Page 591

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ ٥

And [then] makes it black stubble.

87:6Page 591

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ٦

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

87:7Page 591

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ ٧

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

87:8Page 591

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٨

And We will ease you toward ease.¹

87:9Page 591

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ٩

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;¹

87:10Page 591

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ ١٠

He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

87:11Page 591

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١١

But the wretched one will avoid it –

87:12Page 591

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ١٢

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

87:13Page 591

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ١٣

Neither dying therein nor living.

87:14Page 591

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٤

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

87:15Page 591

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ١٥

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

87:16Page 592

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ١٦

But you prefer the worldly life,

87:17Page 592

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ١٧

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87:18Page 592

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٨

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

87:19Page 592

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ١٩

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
