بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى ۝١

Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
2

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٢

Who created and fashioned in due proportion,
3

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ۝٣

4

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ۝٤

and Who brings forth the pasture,
5

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ ۝٥

then makes it into withered chaff.
6

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ۝٦

We will teach you [the Qur’an], so you will not forget,
7

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ ۝٧

except what Allah wills[1], for indeed He knows what is manifest and what is hidden.

[1] i.e., except what Allah wills to make you forget for wisdom such as abrogating or replacing a ruling by another.
8

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ۝٨

We will guide you to the easy way[2].

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ۝٩

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ ۝١٠

He who fears Allah will take heed,
11

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ۝١١

but the wretched will avoid it,
12

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ۝١٢

who will enter the Great Fire,
13

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ۝١٣

wherein he will neither die nor live.
14

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١٤

Indeed, he who purifies himself will attain success,
15

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ۝١٥

and remembers his Lord’s Name and prays.
16

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ۝١٦

17

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرࣱ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ۝١٧
