سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى (1)

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ (2)

who created and proportioned,

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ (3)

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ (5)

and then turned it into a black scum.

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ (6)

We shall have you recite [the Quran], then you will not forget [any of it]

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ (7)

except what Allah may wish. Indeed, He knows the open and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ (8)

فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ (9)

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ (10)

he who fears [God] will take admonition,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى (11)

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ (12)

—he who will enter the Great Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ (13)

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ (14)

‘Felicitous is he who purifies himself,

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ (15)

celebrates the Name of his Lord, and prays.

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا (16)

But you prefer the life of this world,

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ (17)

while the Hereafter is better and more lasting.’

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ (18)

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ (19)
