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

87:1

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

87:2

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Who created and proportioned

87:3

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

And who destined and [then] guided

87:4

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ

And who brings out the pasture

87:5

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

And [then] makes it black stubble.

87:6

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

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

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.

87:8

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

And We will ease you toward ease.

87:9

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

87:10

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

87:11

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

But the wretched one will avoid it -

87:12

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

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

87:13

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

Neither dying therein nor living.

87:14

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

87:15

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

87:16

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

But you prefer the worldly life,

87:17

وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87:18

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

87:19
